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?

Color of Sci-Fi

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 streamed conversation with authors, scientists, economists, and thinkers exploring AI, post-scarcity economics, and the Star Trek future. Coming November 2026. Co-presented with Detroit Public Library.

02 The Gathering of Crews

After the conversation, participants join a Crew — a small group of people working together on a real-world challenge through the lens of Star Trek and BIPOC speculative fiction. In 2026 the Crews meet online from cities across the country. In 2027 the Crews converge in Detroit.

03 The Mission Log

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

04 Signed Document to Share with the World

Sharing our solutions, ideas with the world with the goal to make real change based on our work and our community.
