Afrofuturism Week 2025

Join us for Afrofuturism Week 2025! This fifteen-day series will celebrate Black diasporic culture, history and alternate futures through art, film, music, fashion, and dialogue. 
Our theme for 2025 is 'Furious Joy', inspired by Alice Walker’s book Hard Times Require Furious Dancing.
