Co-hosted by Professors Tao Leigh Goffe and Shannon Gleeson, Season 3 of Get Free introduces a speculative cartography experiment entitled The World We Became: Map Quest 2350. A collaboration between a collective of artists, poets, academics, curators, architects, and activists, this digital humanities project maps global ecological crises and shared Black, Asian, Pacific, Middle Eastern, Latin American, Caribbean, and Indigenous futures.
The born-digital speculative design experiment features visual and audio components presenting a planetary vision of the year 2350 as an underwater future in ruins.
Learn more about the project at the Dark Laboratory, a creative technology collective, production company, and design studio that researches climate and race through theory and action. Each initiative we release forms another layer of an expanding galaxy of projects on Black and Indigenous futures. The lab’s philosophy is inspired by the ethos of Toni Morrison’s Playing in the Dark (1993). We imagine the Western hemisphere as a haunted house founded on stolen land and built through the labor of stolen lives.
This podcast was part of the Cornell Migrations Summer Institute, 2021, organized by Tao Leigh Goffe and Shannon Gleeson.
