Worldbuilding 3000 Symposium

A collective learning symposium comprised of a trio of workshops, artist talks, and an installation developed by Marvin James for Pitzer College. Presented by the ITS-IN-SCOPE Freedom Institute, Worldbuilding 3000 resembled a college course, institutional symposium, and gallery exhibition. Each session was designed to explore worldbuilding as a resistance praxis. Our intention was bringing learners from within and beyond the institution together to center Black and Indigenous experiences, hold space for intimate curiosities, and continue to build desired futures amidst our present realities.
