Grounded Futures

the show

Our pilot show was Grounded Futures!

The second and third seasons of the Grounded Futures Show are hosted by carla joy bergman and Uilliam Joy. 

Uilliam and carla discuss topics that are important to our collective survival and thrival… They also dig into ways youth (and anyone really) can gain new skills to thrive amid current and ongoing disasters. The third season’s meta theme is all about Trust, trust in ourselves, trust in our work and art, and trust in each other. The show will take a deep dive on these issues, and be in conversations with incredible guests. We are a Gen-X and a Gen-Z, and we are keen on tearing down the walls between generations together and on our show!

In some episodes they include a short segment called Delighting in our Friends, whereby Uilliam and carla delight and amplify friends’ radical art!

“Imagination is found in delight”

Grounded Futures Show Season 2, Episode 13: Mad Trinkets, with Kitty Sipple “Neuroqueer is both an adjective and a verb. And so, automatically, the word has multiplicity built into it. And it invites you to play with the idea that who you are can also be an action.” We are thrilled to welcome Kitty Sipple back to the show to talk about the roots and lineages of sanism, neuroqueerness, and Madness. Weaving them together in profound and powerful ways, Kitty also shares theirs and other folks' stories of resistance and thriving, and much more! @fungifemme Delighting in our Friends Segment: Hari Alluri ! reads his wonderful poem: Dragon Shoots Its Whispers aka The Lightning Speaks!
