HAVC 276Indigenous Futurisms
This graduate seminar dives into the speculative, ancestral, and artistic currents of Indigenous Futurisms. Course examines a wide range of artists, theories, and texts to illuminate how Indigenous Futurisms, as a movement, fractures colonial notions of linear time that are predicated on capitalism and settler logics. Topics include: speculative sovereignty, digital art, climate futures, planetary thought, and virtual worlds as sites of Indigenous resistance. Students engage foundational theory alongside contemporary artistic practices, with sustained attention to decolonial/anti-colonial ethics.
