While the Futurism movement\, which began in Italy and spread to other European countries\, sought to cleave off from the past and prophesized exciting futures through new technologies\, futurisms that emerged from the margins were motivated by different urges – to question Eurocentric ideas of progress\, development\, scientific rationality\, and techno futures. Afrofuturism\, Latinx Futurism\, and different kinds of Subaltern Futurisms have imagined alternate futures through speculative art and fiction by firmly holding on to the past. \n\n\n\nIn the Indian subcontinent\, artists Subash Thebe Limbu and Osheen Siva have conceptualised Adivasi Futurism and Tamil Dalit Futures respectively. This conversation will discuss how they utilise the anti-caste philosophy that guides their multimodal artwork. It will explore how the artists use speculative art to posit alternate futures that resist caste and privilege their identities. The conversation\, moderated by Prof. K.A. Geetha and Priteegandha Naik will discuss Dalit and Adivasi futurism and the potential it offers to dream up new and equal futures. \n\n\n\n				\n					\n					\n					Subash Thebe Limbu\n					\n						Subash Thebe Limbu is a Yakthung (Limbu) artist from what we currently know as eastern Nepal.
