Wakanda Dream Lab Anthology

The Wakanda Dream Lab Anthology centers storytelling as a vehicle for us to imagine a whole, thriving world. Storytelling is one way in which we assert who we are, where we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going. We can interrogate, transform, and mold whole worlds by transporting ourselves to the story realm.

#BLACKFREEDOMBEYONDBORDERS: RE-IMAGINING GENDER IN WAKANDA
10.2019

In the midst of social dysfunction in which women and girls - especially from Black and Indigenous communities, those who do not fit into predetermined gender boxes, or are deemed weaker among men - face violence, exclusion, isolation, and bigotry, we know we can envision and create a different reality. A liberatory reality where kindness, inclusion, belonging, and above all else, love, are the order of the day. Turning to Wakanda where we see gender currently playing out in a number of ways, we wanted to know, what don’t we see? If Wakanda is Zion, Paradise, Negroland, Afrotopia etc. for all Afro-descendant people, how do we WANT to see gender beyond the snapshots offered to us in the comics, cartoons and movies? We invited fan fiction, art, and poetry that was vision-led, future-facing, revolutionary, and social justice oriented from all those across the gender spectrum who believe in and are committed to gender justice and liberation, and the power of speculative fiction.
