Imagining Other Worlds

This time in class we looked at a lot of speculative/futurist art from various artists with different backgrounds and styles.

Cosmotechnics & Cosmofuturisms

Another World is Possible, A World of Many Worlds

Midterm Ideation: I have chosen to focus on the evolution of Pakistani social structures. I have no doubt that most of this research will lead me to the caste system in India. To be quite frank I don’t know a lot about caste history so a lot of this will…

Issues of Research & Representation

Dr. Ansari said something in class today in reference to a question I asked which really resonated with me. I can’t remember the specific question right now, but it went something like this: How can we as people work outside of the community for a better world when we’re still…

Modernity/Coloniality

Aníbal Quijano first coined the concept of modernity/coloniality, which was later developed by Walter Mignolo. These concepts of modernity and coloniality are referred to as two sides of the same coin, seemingly different but one cannot exist without the other. …

Who am I? What am I?

Ahmed Ansari writes: While ‘decolonisation’ has recently become common parlance in the political language of the Left in the United States, there has been little effort, whether in the academy or in public discourse and praxis, in reflecting more deeply on what it means and what it entails given the…

Servo Motors

This week I made a “windshield wiper” for glasses. My friends who wear glasses have always complained about their glasses fogging up and rain getting their lenses “too wet”, so, I decided to make something that could help them out. When testing out the Servo Motor in the beginning, the…
