Relational Possibilities: A Remix of Aesthetic Forms Through Indigeneity and Blackness

Aesthetic Indigenous Forms

The Post Colonial Dreams Museum is a digital museum that explores community in the contexts of climate racism, Indigeneity, and climate change through Philadelphia’s Black public art, generative AI images, and environmental histories. The virtual museum is organized into seven temporal realities - seven chapters to align with the idea of seven cardinal directions (east, west, north, south, up, down, you at the center). Each chapter is a retelling of the lived aftermath and speculative future imaginations of the Black and Indigenous experience beyond the settler colonial state in Philadelphia, PA. 

The past, present, and future of our city communities in the United States exist within colonization’s ongoing violence - a perpetual state of lived aftermath to stolen lands, white supremacy, genocide, slavery, and anthropogenic climate change. Our land and water relations remember how we treat them with sewage, chemicals, and trash, and they influence the artistic expressions and world’s of Black Philadelphia writers, philosophers, artists.
