Hello Friends, I had a great time at the G-20 Summit Brazil in Rio last week. Many thanks to The Instituto Bienal Amazônia (Amazon Biennial) and Saphira Ventura Gallery for inviting me. So many memories: my Human Rights and Science Fiction presentation to an audience of activists, the David Lynch Foundation's TM meditations, lectures supporting indigenous Amazon communities, motorcycle taxis zipping through crowded streets and finally, doing a ghost shoot in Parque Lage, one of the most beautiful places I've been.![]()

Science Fiction Meets Human Rights at the G20 Summit 🌍
Nov 19 at the Parque Gloria Maria Cultural Center in Rio, discover how science fiction can illuminate our deepest fears and biggest challenges in a special presentation featuring James Carman, the author of the graphic novel, HyperParanoid. Through iconic examples like The Matrix and The Terminator, James will uncover how sci-fi helps us confront issues like manipulation, technological threats, and systemic oppression—while offering hope for change.![]()
Through the transformative lens of storytelling, James will explore civilization's journey and ask critical questions: Can we create a world free of hate, destruction, and suffering? What role do compassion and human rights play in sustaining society? At its essence, it’s about finding what connects us rather than what separates us—a central theme in HyperParanoid.![]()
Let’s envision the future we want to live in—together.![]()
