The Futures from the Margins conference poster consists of commissioned artwork by artist, scientist, and historian Argha Manna. 

Argha Manna is a cancer researcher turned comics artist from India. He explores the historical perspectives of scientific development and social issues through the lenses of an artist and a researcher both, which bridges the gap between academic research and visual storytelling.

The artwork, titled Home in the Nuclear Winter (2022), uses motifs from Ant Network Theory (2019), a speculative piece by Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay and Geoffrey C. Bowker.

The fonts used for the poster are Alpha Centauri by Ioanna Ladopoulou, the Lexend font by Bonnie Shaver-Troup, and Orbitron by Matt McInerney.

A limited edition print run of the poster will be available at the conference.
