SUMMARY:Digital Futurism: Evening Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Calling all up-and-coming history-makers and creatives!\nWhat do you dream for the future? Could the start of that future be right in the palm of your hand? What can we imagine and invent together\, inspired by technology? \nFor better or for worse\, cellphones have shaped who we are as a global society\, and they will for decades to come. That’s the focus of an exhibition being planned at the National Museum of Natural History for 2023 – and we need to talk about it! What can we dream up together to ensure that our tech reflects us? \nTwo evening conversations at the D.C. Public Library feature a panel of Black women futurists\, designers\, artists\, musicians\, and novelists who have influenced this tech and how we use it. You’ll take away a new understanding of the factors that shape our relationship with technology\, and be invited to interact in a community-style re-imagining of our future. \nJoin for one night or both\, and come ready to participate\, connect with others\, and learn from experts!\n(You must register for both events separately). \nEvening One (Panel Discussion)\, June 29\nWarm-ups // Lightning Talks from Leaders // Brainstorming Challenges + Solutions \nFeaturing:\nCarolyn Malachi\, mix engineer\, producer\, Grammy-nominated artist\, and educator\nAllissa Richardson (via Zoom)\, journalist\, professor and author of Bearing Witness While Black: African Americans\, Smartphones and the New Protest #Journalism\nKamal Sinclair (via Zoom)\, former Executive Director\, Guild of Future Architects\nAshleigh Coren\, Smithsonian Institution\nRegister \nEvening Two (w/ Nnedi Okorafor)\, June 30\nWarm-ups // Community Storytelling: Imagining Our Future \nFeaturing:\nNnedi Okorafor (via Zoom)\, science fiction and fantasy novelist\nAshleigh Coren\, Smithsonian Institution\nRegister \n*These are free IN PERSON events designed for 18-25 year olds (but all are welcome).
