So it allows us to move beyond the bounds of what is realistic and what is real, into the realm of the imagination. That is actually something that organizers do every single day. All the organizing is science fiction. When organizers imagine a world without poverty, without war, without borders or prisons—that's science fiction. They're moving beyond the boundaries of what is possible or realistic, into the realm of what we are told is impossible. Being able to collectively dream those new worlds means that we can begin to create those new worlds here.” - Walidah Imarisha lakisha_howell https://padlet.com/lakisha_howell/cb52c8ab460plfrj/wish/2388216912 2022-11-17 12:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_howell/cb52c8ab460plfrj/wish/2388216912 “Visionary fiction” is a term we developed to distinguish science fiction that has relevance toward building new, freer worlds from the mainstream strain of science fiction, which most often reinforces dominant narratives of power. Visionary fiction encompasses all of the fantastic, with the arc always bending toward justice. We believe this space is vital for any process of decolonization, because the decolonization of the imagination is the most dangerous and subversive form there is: for it is where all other forms of decolonization are born. Once the imagination is unshackled, liberation is limitless.” Adrienne Maree Brown, Octavia's Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements lakisha_howell https://padlet.com/lakisha_howell/cb52c8ab460plfrj/wish/2388217443 2022-11-17 12:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_howell/cb52c8ab460plfrj/wish/2388217443 lakisha_howell https://padlet.com/lakisha_howell/cb52c8ab460plfrj/wish/2388222900 2022-11-17 12:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_howell/cb52c8ab460plfrj/wish/2388222900 lakisha_howell https://padlet.com/lakisha_howell/cb52c8ab460plfrj/wish/2388224153 2022-11-17 13:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lakisha_howell/cb52c8ab460plfrj/wish/2388224153 Visionary fiction is a term I developed to help talk about fantastical writing that helps us imagine new just worlds.
