His Fellowship will assemble a team of creators to produce a new speculative fiction stories for a book and an original podcast series, produced with Visitor Media

This multimedia series of speculative fiction short stories will engage with what could be: a deep dive into the wild imaginings of leading artists, activists and thinkers who are dreaming us into future worlds. All set within a century from now, these stories offer us a way of surviving and growing into something not yet created — the apocalyptic, the beautiful, the hopeful, the sacred.
