Future Feelings: Conversation with Monika Bielskyte

 
 
 
 
 

“The technology that we should accept should always be the kind of technology that helps us to connect to our own bodies, to each other, and to this world—not to become isolated, not to become more and more removed from ourselves and from each other.”

 
 
 

Episode 04 spotlights speculative designer and futurist speaker Monika Bielskyte, who is the founder of collaborative research and creation platform Protopia Futures. She speaks with host Radha Mistry about how technology shapes our cultural narratives and political realities, the productive ways her own neurodivergence has affected her perception of environments, and the dangers of dystopian and utopian thinking.
