Abstract or artist statement
Climate destruction is projected to occur sooner than we would like to entertain. As people operating in a late-stage capitalist world, turn our focus towards a future of material concerns such as income and consumerism. Without proper recognition of the future that is soon upon us, we remain complacent in the neglect of millions of lives threatened by climate collapse. About 180 million people will experience displacement from their homes and families (Norman). These 180 million people will be disproportionately people of color located in the Global South. What will happen to these people? In a practice of collaboration and citation, I aim to analyze projections for climate induced migration through the writings and activism of queer scholars, such as Michel Foucault, Achille Mbembe, Riley Snorton, Jin Haritaworn and more.
Keywords: climate change, climate induced migration, queer theory, critical race theory
