Taking its name from the Dogon people of Mali—who possessed precise astronomical knowledge of the Sirius A and B star system centuries before Western science confirmed it—Mothership Sirius B is a testament that marginalized communities have always held future-facing knowledge.
Created by artist and cultural provocateur Fabian Williams (Occasional Superstar) and Co-Creator/Producer Sindy Guerrero-Williams, this experience is part art show, part think tank, and part civic gathering. It invites you to trace how science fiction manufactured our present reality—and empowers you to help build a different future.
“Atlanta has always built the future from the rubble of what others tried to dictate. Mothership Sirius B is our proof of concept... Plan your future, or the future will be planned for you.”

What It Was
1950s–1970s
Diner-era Americana, mod rooms & the sci-fi warning systems of the past.
Step into a diner-era Americana (50's)—mint green walls, checkered floors, red vinyl seating—then transition into the 60's & 70's mod room with shagged carpet and paneled walls. Confront the science fiction of the past (The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Thing From Another Planet, Planet of the Apes, Village of the Damned & more). These films were warning systems, encoding fears of institutional collapse and the weaponization of science that map with unsettling precision onto today's conditions.
What It Is
1980s–2000s
Ascend into the dark: corporate capture, algorithmic control, mirrored walls.
Ascend into the dark. The walls fade, and lights illuminate only the art. Explore the 1980s corridor of corporate capture (RoboCop, They Live), the algorithmic control of the 1990s (The Matrix), and the mirrored walls of the 2000s—reflecting a culture obsessed with self-image even as it is watched and monetized.
What It's Gon' Be
The Future
The Garden of Jza & The Future Lab — futures co-authored with Atlanta youth.
Climb a stairwell lined with original visions of the future co-created by Atlanta youth. The Garden of Jza: a lush environment reclaiming the divine feminine, anchored by The First Cookout—a large-scale reimagining of The Last Supper featuring thirteen contemporary visionaries working toward a more just world. The Future Lab: a lounge-style think tank and black-lit aether room designed as a private space to imagine and author the future you want to live in.
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?
