Emancipatory Urban Futures is a STEAMPlant Initiative project at the intersection of art, technology, and research aimed at envisioning a more inclusive and just city for the next generation. By identifying challenges faced by community members and speculating solutions to these challenges, we hope to build futures that are self-determined and community-driven. Participatory workshops involving virtual reality sketching, game-playing, and discussion groups will help to envision the future that you/we are working toward, one of collective well-being and firmly rooted in community.
