6. South Asian Futurism

South Asian futurism is about imagining what the future scape could look like – utopias with futuretech, lush green spaces, energy-efficient skyscrapers, possibly yes, but also unity in diversity, faith, creation, and more. This week Nadya speaks to comic artist Bishakh Som whose graphic short story collection Apsara Engine engages with South Asian futurism to imagine a creative, queer, verdant future.
