What It Was. What It Is.
What It's Gon' Be.
Generations of media told you what the future looked like. They created the consumers, prescribed the vision, and sequestered creativity. But you don't have to be a secondhand citizen. Your future cannot be scripted.
You're an ATLien. You see the solutions. You know that you must ask the right questions, connect with the right people, and produce the art that will invite others to come aboard…
… the Mothership—an immersive abduction into a new algorithm. On the first flight, you'll explore how the future was conceived from the 50s through the 70s. On the second, you'll contemplate the dystopian narratives of the 80s through the 2000s. And in the highest dimension, you ascend into a cosmic, interactive laboratory to co-create the future we want to build. You decide, as they say in Atlanta, what it gon' be.
Fabian
"Occasional
Superstar" Williams
Atlanta · Visual & Performance Artist
Born in Fayetteville, NC, Fabian is a future-focused visual and performance artist exploring Black liberation, innovation, and joy. His work pulls from commercial illustration, classic portraiture, hip-hop, and civil rights iconography to confront the persistent exploitation of Black culture — channeling Caravaggio and Norman Rockwell through today's racial, political, and social lens.
Before going full-time into art, he was a designer and art director for Nike, American Express, Pennzoil, and Verizon — where he learned the dark arts of persuasion. He co-created the #Kaeperbowl mural campaign during Super Bowl 53 and contributed to the Big Facts Small Acts campaign during the pandemic.
Fabian is also the founder of Fabioglyphs — a derivative of Kemetic/Egyptian hieroglyphics layered beneath his paintings like the source code behind the Matrix. A visual prayer before the work begins. Can you dig it?

Guerrero-
Williams
Brooklyn · Founder · Star-Maker
Sindy Guerrero-Williams is a dynamic creative force and entrepreneur known for building institutions that shape the cultural landscape. Born in Brooklyn, New York, she blends business acumen with artistic intuition — holding an AA in Public Relations and a Bachelor's in Business and Marketing, with a lifelong devotion to the arts and dance as her enduring specialty.
As the Creator, Founder, and Co-Owner of Dance 411 Studios and 411 South Talent Agency, Sindy built a legacy as a star-maker. Known as the "studio of the stars," Dance 411 became the premier training ground for some of the industry's most successful choreographers and dancers — many discovered through her agency.
Now she's expanding her visionary reach into the fine art world, broadening her agency to represent her husband, world-renowned artist Fabian Williams. Together they co-produced Mothership — more than an exhibition, a transformative cultural destination delivering exactly what ATL needs.
Off the clock, Sindy is a devoted mother to Delilah Schneider, who is exploring her own beautiful journey toward a career as an artist.
The Funk
Frontier
The analog ascension. A technicolor explosion of P-Funk geometry, Sun Ra's cosmic jazz, and the original promise of liberation through sound. The mothership lands for the first time.
Civil rights, space race, and Afrofuturism's first wave — an era where Black artists dreamed openly of other worlds, and built the velvet-draped vessel to get there.
Digital
Dystopia
Crack-era America, the rise of hip-hop, MTV, and the mainframe. The neon-shadowed alleys where the cyberpunk promise mutated into surveillance, mass incarceration, and the dictated future we are still living inside.
Witness the profound, often dystopian similarities between the future we were sold and the present we inherited.
What It's
Gon' Be.
The future we choose to build. If this project is successful, the artists, writers, painters, dancers, singers, musicians, actors and CREATORS featured here will leave Mothership with a mission to construct the future we can all be happy with.
