This month, we are thrilled to invite Jessica Zhou and Sabina Kariat to curate the exchange! Though it is accessible via Zoom, we are excited to announce that Southern Exposure will be hosting this exchange in person (limited to 25 people).

Kimberley Acebo Arteche (she/they) is a San Francisco based educator, cultural worker, and interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the hybrid cultures formed by technology, movements of immigrants in America, and the way movements through space and spaces has been affected by these two. Nico Maimon (she/they) is on a forever quest to decolonize her body and configure systems beyond capitalism. Rama Majzoub (she/her) helps to share the story of Karam Foundation, an organization dedicated to building a foundation for the future of Syria, with the world.

For each of these speakers, the speculative is the material, and daring to imagine something beyond the world they were presented with is one of the many ways they change it. Each of these futurists are world-builders in their own right: their practices engage community through technology, pedagogy, activism, organizing, photography, social media, and writing, and in bringing them in conversation with one another, we will learn about the space of potential for building coalition between each of our futures.
