Visions of the end of the world take center stage at Walker Art Center
Visions of the end of the world take center stage at Walker Art Center originally appeared on Bring Me The News. The Walker Art Center is welcoming the New York Times-bestselling author Adrienne Maree Brown as a guest curator at the Walker Cinema this summer. Brown is drawing on her work as an activist, science fiction scholar, and doula to probe the question of how we can or will survive the end of the world with a series of familiar near-dystopian films that offer a starting point for that discussion. The Walker says the series, titled "Compelling Speculations on Human Survival," looks "beyond dystopia to narratives that imagine compelling scenarios for what human life could look like if we find a way to persist on Earth." It centers around ideas of "dreams, love, environmental stewardship, and collective survival" to recontextualize familiar movies like Black Panther's questions around what it means to be a ward of the environment, Interstellar's suggestion that love can be a guiding principle in human survival, and Star Trek IV's cautionary tale of what we lose as "progress" erases the natural world. Here's what is playing this summer during "Compelling Speculations on Human Survival," which runs from July 11 through Aug. 9. July 11–12: Black Panther (2018) July 18–19: The NeverEnding Story (1984) July 24 and 26: Interstellar (2014) Aug. 1–2: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) Aug. 8–9: Contact (1997)This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on May 31, 2025, where it first appeared.
