“Unmapped Constellations: Using Science Fiction to Plot Anti-Fascist Futures” is a dynamic 45-minute workshop that invites participants to harness speculative fiction as a tool for collective liberation and healing. Beginning with a framing lecture, we examine how stories become blueprints for power and can be composted to seed new, anti-fascist imaginaries. With group conversations and interactive activities, participants rewrite dystopian scenarios into brief, liberatory futures and identify real-world policy or cultural shifts. The session culminates in a commitment ritual, transforming collective imagination into actionable pledges that extend the anti-fascist work beyond the room.

Maya-Gawonii will be delivering this lecture at UC Berkeley for the Freedom Community Clinic’s 2025 Healing to the People Summit event.

“The Healing to the People Summit Convening aims to uplift dialogue and bridge collaborations across sectors working towards community healing. We are excited to host and present this multi-day convening that invites Individuals and collectives committed to any aspect of whole-person healing across intersections and disciplines.

The HTTP Summit aims to be a critical space bringing together leaders from on-the-ground organizations, academia, medical and health professional schools, health systems, Indigenous leaders, complementary and alternative medicine practitioners and schools, food justice, artists, mutual aid groups, and more.”
