Originating from science fiction, Afrofuturism explores the relationships between cultures of the African diaspora, art, and technology to reimagine the future through a Black lens. Afrofuturism is rooted in Black history, identity, and tradition, and celebrates innovations of Black culture.

Start your weekend early with a Thursday evening discussion that shines a light on these innovations, bringing together artists and cultural practitioners to discuss the ways in which Afrofuturist aesthetics and ideologies show up in their work.

Featuring mixed media artist Dakarai Akil; filmmaker Imani Dennison; poet and educator Daniel Gray-Kontar; and moderated by co-founder and Creative Director of ThirdSpace Action Lab, Mordecai Cargill, this conversation highlights the multidimensionality and fluidity of Afrofuturism.
