Future Playground: Island Resiliency, is an international team of collaborators from Germany, Trinidad and the United States, exploring climate fiction scenarios at the intersection of art, science, and emergent technology. With sea-levels on the rise, Future Playground speculates how a proactive, desirable, and inclusive life-centered future could look for island and coastal nations.

This project is a creative collaboration between Kassandra Huynh (biodesigner / creative consultant), Johannes Fuchs (illustrator / visual storyteller), Giselle Carr (brand strategist / start-up founder), Leon Wang (climate technologist / biomimicry professional), and Christopher Collens (cultural expert). Together they explore climate fiction scenarios at the intersection of art, science, and emergent technology.
