“Pay attention to the visions for the future put forward in today’s world by politicians, intellectuals and scientists:

The development of technologies to sustain human life on other planets; new digital realities; the altering of human DNA.

Who is this future for?

What is not recognized as possible in our future is equally telling: No substantial strategy to tackle climate change; few equitable responses to the COVID-19 pandemic; no end to the ongoing dispossession of Indigenous lands from South Africa to Canada to Palestine; no basic services to those who live daily without food or clean drinking water, even in the world’s richest countries.”

Afrofuturism is a psycho-social-political-spiritual movement because everything we do is social, political, psychological, and spiritual. Imagining ourselves into the future is key to our survival. What political future do you imagine for yourself?
