Opening up #MozFest, @ruha9.bsky.social asks us "who owns the future?" but also problematizing the notion of ownership. Need to shift the question, expanding the vision of how we imagine new futures.

A projected screen. A picture of Nichelle Nichols, the late actress who played Uhura, sitting in the Captain's seat on the Starship Enterprise. Superimposed on the picture are the words in multiple colors: "who owns the future?"
