Mapping our Petrofuture

An Evening at the Steam Plant: Conspiracy of Cartographers

Join us for an evening of maps, imagination, and critical climate dialogue with Jeffrey Linn—artist, cartographer, and visionary futurist. Renowned for his acclaimed “petrofuture” maps, Linn blends scientific projection with speculative storytelling to illustrate how unchecked emissions, rising seas, and unraveling industrial systems could reshape our cities and coastlines.

Featured in The Washington Post, Grist, Foreign Policy, and praised by the late Ursula K. Le Guin, and examined by Snopes, Linn’s work invites us to confront the deep, layered histories of place while daring us to envision radically different futures.

Through incisive cartography and community conversation, we’ll explore how creative mapping can expose the consequences of inaction and inspire bold strategies for adaptation, industrial revolution, and ecological regeneration—beginning here in the Duwamish River Valley.
