The talk is about Black speculative storytelling as a transformative method of temporal and epistemological intervention, one that challenges linear time, centres erased narratives, and generates radically imaginative futures rooted in Black lived experiences. Chris Wilson, a cultural futurist, strategist and guide whose work dances at the intersection of Black imagination, foresight, creativity and design justice. His practice is shaped by ancestral wisdom, radical possibility, and a commitment to futures where Black folks are not only seen but centred. Their TEDx talk will explore how Black speculative storytelling functions as a temporal and epistemological portal, where time folds, ancestral memory breathes, and Black imagination reclaims erased narratives to craft futures sculpted in joy, complexity, creativity and collective empowerment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
