PKN SEA vol. 51: AFROFUTURISM
Facebook Event Page.
Where is the future and what does it look like? Afrofuturism is many things including an exploration of the possibilities that extend beyond the here and now. Afrofuturists have helped to re-framed the dialogue about racial equality by presenting complex narratives that among other things examine worlds ravaged by oppression to promised lands beyond race and time. Luminaries like Nick Cave, Octavia Butler Janelle Moneae, Sun Ra and Wangechi Mutu and many more have contributed mind blowing ideas by re-imagining future worlds and communities through sound, literature and visual art. We invite you take a trip back to the future with local thought leaders and visionaries to a place beyond race and time.
The event is FREE, but space is limited and we expect a full house. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.
