Realities of Science Fiction II
Conferences, discussions, performances
In its second iteration, the symposium Realities of Science Fiction II focuses on a multiplicity of narratives such as Afrofuturism, Indigenous forms of knowledge, and science fiction as a mode of resistance. Through performative and discursive practices in the fields of science, literature, cinema and visual arts, different practitioners will question the current conditions of science-fictional imaginaries.
