More About Afrofuturism:
Afrofuturism is not a sub-genre. For some, like Sun Ra, Afrofuturism (though the term was not coined until after Sun Ra passed away) is a form of escapism; a reprieve from violent systems of segregation and white supremacy. For others, Afrofuturism is a celebration of black innovation; filmmaker and author Ytasha Womack describes Afrofuturism as, “The intersection between black culture, technology, liberation, and the imagination, with some mysticism thrown in, too.” For some it is highly spiritual.

Remembering Y2K Afrofuturism in Music Videos | Video Essay
Just having some fun with nostalgia...
"There’s a popular criticism that a lot of fantasy and sci-fi of the past ended up crafting new worlds that rarely included black people. We existed in the margins of dystopia, the underground of the underground, Or even just didn’t exist at all. Erased or never centered in these narratives. But around the dawn of the New Millennium, there seemed to be this blip in the timeline where black people weren’t just envisioning the future themselves, we were really serving, The Future."

Afrofuturism Explained: Not Just Black Sci-Fi | Inverse
What is Afrofuturism?
Subscribe to Inverse! http://goo.gl/VJUxU2
In February 2018, Marvel's Black Panther broke box-office records and elevated the phrase AfroFuturism to the forefront of the American lexicon.
But AfroFuturism is a practice that goes far beyond the aesthetic of black people donning cool science-fiction-y costumes. It is a genre of speculative fiction that highlights what regular science fiction can't and won't.
There is a glaring exclusion of black people from works of science fiction and an immense amount of real world problems that black people must face on a consistent basis. As such, one might think that black people would shy away from speculative fiction and instead opt to focus on the present.
AfroFuturism is an artform, practice and methodology that allows b...

More About Afrofuturism:
Afrofuturism is not a sub-genre. For some, like Sun Ra, Afrofuturism (though the term was not coined until after Sun Ra passed away) is a form of escapism; a reprieve from violent systems of segregation and white supremacy. For others, Afrofuturism is a celebration of black innovation; filmmaker and author Ytasha Womack describes Afrofuturism as, “The intersection between black culture, technology, liberation, and the imagination, with some mysticism thrown in, too.” For some it is highly spiritual. Above all else, it is an ambitious vision of the future and mankind’s place in it that is continually informed by black culture and history.
What kind of message is sent when mass audiences are presented with visions of the future that do not include people of color? Since Hollywood has historically excluded black characters from leading roles in science fiction films, black people have had to envision and ultimately create space for themselves above and beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. In DUST’s original series, we celebrate a handful of those people, and encourage you to dive deeper into the Afrofuture.
We present to you the stories of:
- Sun Ra: Considered the forefather of Afrofuturism.
- Uhura: One of the lieutenants on Star Trek’s Starship Enterprise. Portrayed by Nichelle Nichols in the original series, she counted Martin Luther King as one of her biggest fans.
- George Clinton: Whose brand of funk was filled with cosmic imagery.
- Jimi Hendrix: Who often imagined himself as an alien.
- Missy Elliott: Who popularized the pairing of science-fiction and hip-hop.
(If Applicable): Credits + Any other blurbs such as directors statment, time stamp list etc

What is Afrofuturism?
Subscribe to Inverse! http://goo.gl/VJUxU2
In February 2018, Marvel's Black Panther broke box-office records and elevated the phrase AfroFuturism to the forefront of the American lexicon.
But AfroFuturism is a practice that goes far beyond the aesthetic of black people donning cool science-fiction-y costumes. It is a genre of speculative fiction that highlights what regular science fiction can't and won't.
There is a glaring exclusion of black people from works of science fiction and an immense amount of real world problems that black people must face on a consistent basis. As such, one might think that black people would shy away from speculative fiction and instead opt to focus on the present.
AfroFuturism is an artform, practice and methodology that allows black people to see themselves in future despite a distressing past and present.
It calls upon sci-fi imagery and futuristic ideas to reflect upon the marginalization of black people. Practitioners conceptualize an array of visions of what a black future could look like.
But what does that look like? We identified four unique AfroFuturist artists, who have used their work to imagine black life beyond its current state of global oppression.
A 500 year history of colonialism, slavery, racism, and segregation have left people of the African Diaspora with a disjointed idea of what it really means to be at home.
Visual Artist and Hip-Hop MC, Jessica Valoris uses speculative fiction and science fiction tropes to encourage people of the African Diaspora to "Phone Home."
In her play "Enough Vo5 for the Universe" Melanie Goodreaux depicts a world 100 years into the future where God is a gender non binary black person.
It is a vision of the future that celebrates black queer lives in spite of present day queer and transantagonism. A toxic soup of poverty, misogyny, anti-blackness, and transphobia leave black Transgender women and femmes at an exorbitantly high risk for being murdered.
Black people are often caught in the ironic crosshairs of being hyper visible and invisible. Black women for example are often hypersexualized, leaving them at a greater risk for sexual assault and violence. Yet they have also been largely left out of conversations around sexual violence even following the rise of 2017's MeToo movement.
Black people have been engaging in Afrofuturism well before the term was coined in 1994. As long as the state of the black future is in jeopardy folks of the African diaspora will continue to imagine expansive ideas of black life in the past, present, and beyond.

Afrofuturism is a cultural movement that uses the frame of science fiction and fantasy to reimagine the history of the African diaspora and to invoke a vision of a technically advanced and generally hopeful future in which Black people thrive: this movement is expressed through art, cinema, literature, music, fashion, etc.
