#SayItAloud
The question is not only what injustices are you fighting against, but what do you in your heart of hearts want to create in this world?
How do we rediscover ourselves anew? Can headstrong self-determination and the changingness of rememory help transcend entrenched supremacist systems to create something supportive and entirely new?
#SayItAloud is a WebXR experience that poses such questions through the central character Professor Commander Justice (PCJ). Professor Commander Justice is eager to spread the word about Afro-now-ism—a willful practice that imagines the world as one needs it to be to support successful engagement—in the here and now—a theory really that she has come to believe in and rely on. Professor Commander Justice asserts the Afro-now-ist is stronger and more immediately generative for having acted on their deepest hopes and desires without inhibition—today. Technological enhancements and self-care techniques from the past, present and future can and should be used to supersede distractions to claiming our sovereignty, wholeness and propriety.
#SayItAloud also encourages participants to add their ideas to this work via video contributions. Each video contribution from the public appears in the WebX environment and adds to an expanding cacophony of voices advocating for and inventing new ways forward.
It is time to reimagine our definitions of who and what we truly value. These are not simply questions of what is valuable to you, but valued period. Our fates, whether we like it or not, acknowledge it or not, are intermingled. Though it is not immediately legible, we sink or swim together.
5 minutes 50 seconds plus user interaction time.
WebXR featuring volumetric video and user contributed content.
