To be able to truly envision better world—not just in vague outlines, but vividly in all its colour and brilliance, so much so that you begin to taste on it on your tongue—is the first step to making revolution.
A special collaboration with R.T. Samuel takes us on a journey through their deep and abiding love of speculative fiction, and the possibilities in holds for liberatory world-making, particular Dalit futurisms. RT is a Dalit cultural producer working between London and New Delhi, and a co-editor of the speculative fiction collection, 'The Blaft Book of Anti-Caste SF.' In conversation with different writers from the anthology including Rahee Punyashloka / Artedkar and Hameedha Khan; RT roams across a range of South Asian histories of oppression and resistance, and explores how science fiction can up open new ways of seeing the world.
