Presented by the ITS-IN-SCOPE Freedom Institute, Worldbuilding 3000 resembles a college course, institutional symposium, and gallery exhibition. Comprised of a trio of workshops, artist talks, and an installation by Marvin James, this symposium culminates their role as Pitzer College’s 2024-25 Artist-Activist in Residence. Each session is designed to explore worldbuilding as a resistance praxis. Our intention is bringing learners from within and beyond the institution together to center Black and Indigenous experiences, hold space for intimate curiosities, and continue to build desired futures amidst our present realities.
