Afrofuturism: An Open Discussion
Wednesday, February 26th
6pm - 8pm
We`re continuing our discussion series this month with a dialog about Afrofuturism! We`ll watch a brief history and some short videos, then open the floor to discussion. What are the benefits of speculative futures? What challenges and opportunities do they present? Is Afrotopia possible? Explore the intersection of Black culture and history with science and technology. Afrofuturism is music, film, fashion, literature, art, performance, and more.
This is not a lecture, but an open forum discussion. Your thoughts and ideas are welcome. From Sun Ra to Octavia Butler to Black Panther, to Janelle Monae, into the Spiderverse, and beyond.
