Futures: Difference between revisions

Decolonial Futures can reference a whole variety of practices that emphasise plural futures and place-based imaginaries. This work is fed by the work of thinkers like Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, who advocate for considering plural, alternative futures rather than speaking about a general singular future for all. <ref>Viveiros de Castro, Eduardo.

Methods emphasising Decolonial Futures include imaginative and embodied practices, listening and attuning to distinct place-based imaginaries, welcoming perspectives from the Global Majority, from disability work and feminist frameworks, challenging heteronormative and Euro-American biases in future scenario planning.
