Afrofuturism Wall Art

About Afrofuturism

Afrofuturism defies strict definition, rooted in the intersections of the African diaspora and technology, encompassing a diverse mix of music, film, literature, and art. At its core, Afrofuturism seeks to understand the Afro-diasporic experience and reconnect with forgotten ancestry.

Coined by Mark Dery in his 1994 essay, "Black to the Future," Afrofuturism's origins predate the phrase. Key figures include musicians Sun Ra and George Clinton, author Octavia Butler, and visual artist Renee Cox. Evolving over decades, Afrofuturism has matured into a unique form unafraid of bold palettes.
