Abstract
The future is not waiting to be created. It is ancestral intimacies. It is fugitive practices – forms of otherwise living and imagining which have already existed. They have been enacted in the past, are now being enacted, are waiting to be embodied. This is the ‘futurism’ we foreground in this conversation, a future that has been already. The futurism we discuss here is not a hope or a utopia; it is a counter-reality that already exists.
