The Future Is Queer & Full of Monsters

from $10.00

A 90-Minute Speculative Creative Experience

What happens when queer people stop simply surviving the worlds we've been given and start inventing entirely new ones?

Join poet and Afrofuturist artist Imani Sims for an after-hours creative workshop and speculative salon at Charlie's Queer Bookstore.

Through playful, generative prompts, we'll dream up queer monsters, lovers, gods, bodies, rituals, catastrophes, and impossible futures. Imagine a world where gender literally shapeshifts, invent a ritual practiced 300 years from now, or write the origin story of a queer cyberpunk culture.

Drawing inspiration from queer and speculative art, we'll explore transformation, desire, mythology, and worldbuilding to imagine lives beyond the boundaries of the present.

Part generative workshop, part speculative salon, this experience welcomes seasoned creatives and curious genre hopping alchemists alike. No experience necessary—just a willingness to play, create something strange, and imagine queer futures together.

Come curious. Make something monstrous.
