MythMedia Studios
MythMedia is an art and design studio that employs myth, media, and worldbuilding strategies to address existential concerns impacting humankind and Planet Earth in the 21st century. We apply liberation technologies and speculative frameworks to engage communities in the art of survival, creative problem-solving, and radical dreaming. Projects, publications, and direct-action tools focus on issues and ideologies shaping the everyday reality and possible futures of BIPOC peoples, humanity, and all ecosystems. We welcome short and long-term collaborations with artists and activists, academics and independent researchers, cultural institutions, and community organizers who strive for peace, justice, and positive evolution.
