MOTHERSHIP

While there’s no denying that Afrofuturism is incredibly cool, behind all the gold and neon are some important messages. Born in the early 1990s, Afrofuturism is as much a critique of today as it is a vision of tomorrow. By painting a picture of a future populated with people of colour who have technologically enhanced bodies and superhuman strength, who drive opulent spacecrafts and live in worlds where power is not a struggle, Afrofuturism artists imagine a future that has left a problematic world of Euro-centrism, oppression and injustice in the past. Kalkidan Assefa

All social justice work is science fiction. We are imagining a world free of injustice, a world that doesn’t yet exist. dream hampton
