AFROFUTURISM
ART & FASHION
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.
