Talk Back
We ask you, our comrades, friends, and accomplices, to share your fire dreams with us so that we may together dream a world anew, a world otherwise. We want to hear your reflections, questions, and ideas. It’s our sincerest hope that this work serves as a companion in your own struggles for liberation.
“‘Fire dreams’ are quite literally born in flames, But more than that, they are the creative and life-giving sparks amid the ashes of our violent pasts and presents, in and through which new and more livable futures are rising. … “Dreams” honors what is being created. They are the stuff of prophets and of everyday folk. They would seem like nonsense if they did not materialize again and again. ”
Our precious world is on fire as the forces of racial capitalism, imperialism, white supremacy, and colonialism terrorize us all, especially the poor and working class, Black and Brown, and queer. Over the last 35 years, we’ve seen again and again how our struggles, while centered in New Orleans, Louisiana, are connected to the global struggles to dismantle all forms of oppression, so that we all have what we need to live and thrive, not just survive.
