The Superhumanities Series, a 3-part event, challenges three Seattle writers to change the real—and to trouble reality itself—by sharing nonfiction (adjacent) stories off-page.
Born from the Superhumanities philosophy that art must time travel to the past to catch up to the future, The Superhumanities Series is an elaborate storytelling event that punctures that future with music, media, and literary performance.
What are the Superhumanities? “Can you imagine what humanities might become if they were seen anew and widely understood as the superhumanities?” asks philosopher Jeffrey J. Kripal. “Entirely new cultural imaginaries, new meanings, new worlds would be revealed.” The Superhumanities is a radical and critical search, says Kripal, “for the fuller and fuller nature of the human.”
