From May 2016-April 2017, Black Quantum Futurism Collective (under the direction of Rasheedah Phillips and Camae Ayewa) operated Community Futures Lab, a pop-up community space, gallery, resource and zine library, workshop space, recording booth, and time capsule, where we recorded oral histories/futures in the Sharswood neighborhood and documented the redevelopment happening there in partnership with local residents, and business owners.
