Future imaginaries : Indigenous art, fashion, technology.

"The growing field of Indigenous Futurism eludes easy categorization, as suggested by this lavishly illustrated wide-ranging collection of essays and artworks from scholars, curators, and some of the field's most prominent artists. Exploring the field's main themes and the opportunities it holds for a more shared, just, and sustainable world, their writings offer a combination of scholarly, artistic, and first-person assessments of Indigenous Futurism as a creative and art historical field of consequence. At the same time, they speak to its interdisciplinary nature and its impact on subjects as diverse as film, fashion, science fiction, popular culture, and environmental science. Throughout these pages, we imagine future worlds grounded in culture, crafted with style, informed by experience, and unbound by colonial restraints. In these worlds are lessons for all of us, today"-- Publisher.
