Abstract

In this chapter, I tell the story of La Mercadita, an imaginary Market located in Mexico City in the year 2050. This fictional story was inspired and informed by the visions of vendors, who created four stories about the future of their marketplaces and their energy systems, during my field research in Mexico City in 2020. It pulls together the wishes, dreams and fears vendors have while talking about the future; some of their concrete ideas that address energy transitions; and the implications these visions may have in their communities and environments. The chapter stories energy imaginaries from a feminist political ecology perspective in order to encourage FPE to explore narrative approaches and to build creatively on communities’ visions of their own futures.
