Intersectional Futurisms: Navigating Margins, Disrupting Norms
WELCOME TO
“INTERSECTIONAL FUTURISMS”
Helsinki, Finland | November 05-06, 2025

We are thrilled to announce that registration is now open for Intersectional Futurisms: Navigating Margins, Disrupting Norms, a two-day transdisciplinary artsci (artistic-scientific) seminar taking place at the University of Helsinki, Finland, on November 5–6, 2025.
This seminar will critically engage with the intersections of marginalization, (digitally mediated) social interactions, anti-colonial praxis, and futurism, envisioning liberatory and transformative futures through artistic and scholarly approaches. By centering voices at the margins and embracing innovative methodologies, this event will explore speculative, decolonial, and creative frameworks —including Afrofuturism, queer futurism, Indigenous futurism, crip futurism, and eco-futurism— to challenge oppressive norms and reimagine brighter futures.
To foster a safe space for creative exchange and challenge traditional academic and artistic frameworks, contributions will take a variety of formats, from traditional talks to artistic performances, creative workshops, gameplay, and other innovative and experimental approaches that engage with intersectional futurisms, digital practices, and critical scholarship.
🗓️ Registration (FREE OF CHARGE): August 05th – October 20th, 2025
