This paper interrogates the extent to which imaginaries of climate and ecological breakdown attend to the memories, knowledges, and experiences of communities already impacted by histories of racism, colonialism, and poverty. Drawing on insights from Black studies and decolonial thinking, the article reflects on how the causes and effects of anthropogenic climate change can be mapped onto geographies of racialised violence and social dispossession. Specific emphasis is given to Rio de Janeiro, notably its port area, a geographical space where future-oriented narratives remain oblivious to the city’s history of anti-Black violence and Indigenous genocide. In parallel, the paper looks at the recently built Museum of Tomorrow and its public representations of the Anthropocene. Overall, the article contends that pluralising accounts of the Anthropocene might offer alternative epistemic entry points for understanding and interrupting the mounting ecological catastrophe.

本文探讨了气候和生态崩溃的想象在多大程度上关注已经受到种族主义、殖民主义和贫困历史影响的社区的记忆、知识和经验。文章借鉴了黑人研究和去殖民思想的见解，反思了人为气候变化的原因和影响如何映射到种族暴力和社会剥夺的地理上。特别强调里约热内卢，尤其是它的港口区，在这个地理空间中，面向未来的叙事仍然忽略了该市反黑人暴力和土著种族灭绝的历史。与此同时，本文着眼于最近建成的明日博物馆及其对人类世的公开展示。全面的，
