Protopias Collection TP
THE PROTOPIAS COLLECTION was created in partnership with Kathryn Murdoch and Ari Wallach’s Futurific Studios (PBS’s A Brief History of the Future). Together, AWA and Futurific are championing a storytelling model that merges speculative fiction with grounded optimism, highlighting futures that are not perfect but possible. Coined by futurist Kevin Kelly, “protopia” represents a world that’s incrementally better, not impossibly idealized. The collaboration between AWA and Futurific Studios continues to expand this vision across storytelling mediums. THE PROTOPIAS COLLECTION collected edition includes all 6 original one-shots and new material. The collected stories and the creative teams behind each include: Polis (Mark Russell & Laci), The Purpose Project (Danny Hogan & Felipe Cunha), Entanglement (Ciara Ni Chuirc, Joshua Lak Kim & Max Von Fafner), Gaya (Kathryn Murdoch, Michael Coast & Keron Grant), AGGIE (Mark Russell & ACO), and Black Moon Ritual (Ytasha Womack & Alitha Martinez).
