Alumni Leslie Barlow ’16 has been working as a core planner for the upcoming 2025 ConFluence: Futures in Color convention. With tickets on sale now, ConFluence: Futures in Color celebrates art, fandom, sci-fi and fantasy, made for and by Black people, Indigenous People, and People of Color

With vendors, panels, cosplay, and creative workshops, Confluence creates a space for BIPOC geeks to discuss the future they hope to make for the nerdy spaces they love. Confluence runs October 18 and 19, for a weekend of weirdness, conversation, and community.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, or marital status in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other school-administered programs.
