Like nearly every other aspect of life today, creativity is being re-shaped by technology. At the same time, humanity’s age-old relationship with storytelling has changed relatively little over millenia. After all, storytelling is hard-wired into our DNA; it’s how we understand the world, communicate with each other, affirm our connection to the human community and imagine new existences. We crave stories, in every possible format, and as long as we’re human, we always will.
In this visionary conversation concepted and curated by filmmaker/visual artist/curator Celia C. Peters, we'll explore the relationship between cinematic storytelling, contemporary visual art and futurism. Guided by Black women creatives rooted in the Bay Area, we’ll discuss the ways film, visual art and futurism are birthing powerful creative expressions of human experience yet to come.
Each guest will provide a short audiovisual statement that presents their creative practice within the context of our topic.
