Exploring the future of Black culture, tech, and creativity. Building the Afrofuturism Community through news and networking.
The joy that comes from being in community around comics and Afrofuturism is undefeated. Thank you Pocketcon Chicago and AstroSankofa the synergy of energy.
Envisioning a future where Black people can be joyful and carefree will always be more revolutionary than perpetuating the commonplace narrative of Black pain. #BlackSky #BlackJoy #AddtoBlackSky #Black&Carefree #ANationForUs #Afrofuturism
What is Afrofuturism? I teach it at UCLA as Black science fiction, fantasy and horror. Whether it's the social science fiction of Octavia E. Butler or the fantasy worlds of @nkjemisin.bsky.social, it's art that enables us to hold up a funhouse mirror to our world to try to create a better one.
I'm teaching my first live HYBRID Afrofuturism writing class w/ @kundalinisteve.bsky.social Jan. 25 & it's half price until 12/31! (Virtual and in SoCal) Black creators or non-Black creators Writing the Other, join us to learn principles of powerful Afrofuturism. www.steven-barnes.com/live-classes

Black Panther in it's origins is not Afrofuturism. Black Panther is conditional Afrofuturism based on who is writing him at the time. White people can not write Afrofuturism. That's wild an academic would use that to theorize antiblackness
