Steel Trees, Fish Skins, and Futurity Cyphers

Taking place in the year 2084, this Indigenous science fiction short story narrates the journey of a 'being' travelling through post-apocalyptic Tkaronto (Toronto, Ontario). The time of the Great Damage (including the millennial scoop) has left forms of radical relationality through song, the dance-ethics of witnessing, and visiting—a cluster of futurity practices. Follow the journey of this 'being' as they use futurity devices to walk to the flash mob futurity cypher, a radical project of joy and love, summoning Black and Indigenous folx to dance for the future.
