Different Dawn: An Indigenous Futurism Concept
Model - @cassi_0608/$adgeezer_
Makeup Artist - @binny_mua
Special Assistance - @21cmad
After coming to Canada, I've been really interested in the culture that was indigenous to this land. As a PoC, seeing Wakanda for the first time in Black Panther, gave physical reality to the idea of futurism and a unique cultural identity, existing together. With indigenous futurism, I was tempted to create another cyberpunk landscape, but I realised that form of industrialisation would be the antithesis to values of conserving nature and seeing it from a sacred perspective.
I am really lucky to also have my model and makeup artist both be members of the First Nations, so I could maintain a respectful cultural perspective.
