I found out about Afrofuturism by chance and I am eternally grateful to have learnt about this movement. The power of Afrofuturism is that it speaks to Black audiences through a liberating perspective, which addresses the collective experience of being Black in society, through a futuristic narrative and visual language. As part of my research into Afrofuturism, I have learnt about the likes of Sun Ra, who is the most pivotal example of what it means to be an Afrofuturist. Through his experimental jazz compositions, he has created a language of his own which is subversive, yet mirrors the real experiences of what it means to be a Black person, in contemporary society.
