Apocalypse
Scattered notes on future imaginaries, collapse, and exit strategies – Part 1: On sci-fi aestheticism(s), Moon landings, and archaeologies of humankind
Introduction
In this creative writing exercise, we share a selection of short entries that blend academic references with pop culture, contemporary art, diary-like notes, and sci-fi imaginaries. We combine texts, music, and images in a multi-sensorial journey that encourages the reader to approach our contribution with an open heart and mind.
