Black Quantum Futurism advocates for structural revolution in housing markets internationally through the application of art, art education, and social justice. The Prime Meridian Unconference, hosted by the New School, Parsons Institute of Design, and the Vera List Center, focused on the use of chronological protocols that have disrupted human existence over the last two centuries. The specific adoption of Greenwich Mean Time in the late nineteenth century signaled the triumph of the commodification of humanity. BQF invited a dozen scholars, activists, and artists to present new work that offers the possibility of redefining time protocols in the twenty-first century.
