According to author Octavia Butler, all organising is a form of science fiction. In his talk, Daniel Rourke considers this statement as a reversal in the polarity of fiction(s), one that renders the future as a narrative act — and a collective one at that. Speaking to the resurgence of totalitarian and fascist ideologies across the globe, Rourke asks what remains of art as act, to fragment and disperse the future.
