What is meant by futurism? Where do we see ourselves in 100 years? In 500 years? Is the science fiction that we see on television, in movies and in books the same for us all? Will we be living in a landscape of high-tech and machinery? Xenobots and AI? Or will we continue to walk with the land that feeds us? 

In her presentation on Indigenous Futurism, Christine Genier explores these ideas, connecting to the works of other Indigenous artists across the country colloquially known as Canada, to look ahead at the life that might be for our future generations. Is the Science Fiction of today our reality tomorrow? And if so, where is the Indigenous voice?
