A live reading series featuring original science fiction from Cole and special guest writers, underscored with futurist soundscapes by accomplished musicians. Two writers spin original science fiction, and one musician underscores the readings with complementary auditory landscapes. We focus on Science Fiction so that we as a society are consciously building our futures, to see and talk about ourselves and each other in new ways- to see people of color, women, queer folks, and immigrants in the future- to show all of us in positions of power, and to show different ways of leading, etc. Science fiction examines not only the effects of continuing to mistreat the planet, humans, plants, and animals; but also envisions new ways of doing things (and remembers ancient ways of doing and being in the future).
