SHATTERED MOON ALLIANCE explores collaborative practice through the lens of sci-fi world-building that re-centres feminist perspectives, finding its origins in a long-distance conversation manifest as a ‘transmedia publication.’ In other words, a stream-of-consciousness, non-linear, hyper-linked collage of pen-pal correspondence and gathering of ideas, images, research and references. Expanding on our ongoing thematic of time-travel, Patterns Changing Patterns manifests from conversations and experiments considering the political implications of displacement in time and space. Beginning with a set of constraints that embrace complexity and uncertainty as a strategy for world-building, this collaborative work is framed as a ‘toolkit’ for forming community regardless of distance, and as a potential for communicating across divides.
