The Color of Sci-Fi began as an annual celebration of BIPOC creations in science fiction. It is becoming something more — a platform where art, libraries, speculative fiction, and community converge around one urgent question.

“If you had everything you needed — what would you do for the world?”
What would you do for humanity?

Building the Future Through Star Trek

What if Star Trek wasn't just a vision of the future?

What if it became a blueprint for building it?

Why This Matters

People are living in scarcity right now — economic, physical, racial, emotional. AI is reshaping labor. The cost of living is crushing communities. And the dominant cultural narrative offers no real alternative vision.

TREK DOES.

Star Trek imagined a future where humanity learned to work together — where poverty was eliminated, where people contributed because it mattered, not because survival demanded it. Color of Sci-Fi asks: how do we begin building that world today?

What We Are Building

01 The Live Conversation

A conversation with authors, scientists, economists, and thinkers exploring AI, post-scarcity economics, and the Star Trek future. Scheduled April 2027. Co-presented with Detroit Public Library.

02 Missions

From there, we’re building a place for Crews to go on Missions together where participants can share what they’re building, go deeper into the ideas raised in the Conversation, and think through real world and life problems together. The work continues through 2027, culminating in Detroit during the week of the Youmacon Conference in November, where we’ll come together in person for another event around science fiction and more Star Trek, and share the success of our Missions.

03 The Mission Log/Packet

A free tabloid-format newspaper documenting the conversations, Crew work, community voices, and original art. Mailed to every Crew member. Pips to commemorate the work and the community along with Sci-Fi boxes full of books, movies and other sci-fi things to enjoy.
