WonderCon 2023

Can imagined futures of drowned cities, drought, out-of-control wildfires, unprecedented weather events, and mass extinctions help us grasp the complexity of climate change? As world leaders attempt to scramble to face the coming decades, creators have as well, by telling stories focusing on the climate crisis to serve as both metaphor and call to action. Cecil Castellucci (Shifting Earth), JR Hughto (That Distant Fire), Mark Russell (Traveling to Mars), and Sherri L Smith (Avatar: The High Ground) are tackling seeding hope and visions for good futures in their stories while sounding the alarm about the high stakes of inaction when considering the state of our home, Planet Earth.
