Project Description

Love Letters From the Future: A Solarpunk Anthology seeks to rebuild the viewer’s relationship to wonder and hope for the future through an exhibit that sits immersed in plant life and magic. This artifact features a dreamscape that holds snippets and secrets from that world. It draws inspiration from Solarpunk and Afrofuturist visions, and lives in a future that demands indigenous sovereignty.
