Afrofuturism: McKenzie’s Favorite 21st Century Example

Lovecraft Country had so many great moments on the show. It was well acted, well scripted, and beautifully shot. Particularly, Episode 7 (“I Am”) was something that really resonated with me. It features Hippolyta going through a journey of self-discovery while navigating through a multi-dimensional machine. It has this perfect blend of science fiction and Afrofurturism that makes the story so compelling and soothing to watch.

When we hear the idea of #AfroFurturism we think of what has been happening in recent years with the concept and idea being thrown around and gaining relevance in the current cultural evolution. I bring you #titozungu works work is beyond imaginative and places on future elements, grounded in his perspective during his life. Let us celebrate those that laid a foundation for the art space we find ourselves in. #africanartist #wecreatives #meettheartist (at Meet The Artist)

Blog Assignment #6

The showcase during class was amazing! Being able to see the creativity of everyone was great. I also loved seeing how the topic of Afrofurturism was really understood by everyone. I never knew we had so many film directors or actors in our class! After finishing the class, learning so much about Afrofuturism, and seeing my fellow classmates create films and stories that have an Afrofurstic theme, the questions that pop into my mind are: What’s next? And Where will Afrofuturism take us next? Now that myself and my other classmates have learned about Afrofuritsm, how will we use our knowledge of it in our everyday lives and inspire the communities around us? Will there be more music highlighting the black community with Afrofurtistc themes? Will more movies as impactful as the Black Panther be made? I really do think that more classes like this one should be taught to students at an earlier age because of the impact that it has had one me. If younger kids are exposed to Afrofuturism, then they will go along with life really seeing the future of the black community and not just be entertained by the negative stereotypes of the black community. Personally, I hope that I can encourage people, especially black people, to see a brighter future for themselves and break barriers that have been set up against us. I also want to take an Afrofuturist approach in my own life by not following the stereotypes, becoming a trail blazer, highlighting and fixing issues in the black community, and overall promoting myself so I won’t be left behind. I don’t want myself or any black person to feel behind or out of the loop from new opportunities that white people are jumping to. Black people are deserving of everything. Another thing I enjoy about Afrofuturism that I liked is that it would comfort the “weird” black that was into science fiction which is another reason why  Afrofuturism should be taught to kids. In my life, I want to become a lawyer and I will intertwine Afrofuturism into my work by promoting opportunities and the future of black people. I will make sure that I will also help create a better world for black people to live in with my power of being a lawyer. Overall, I really did enjoy this class and I hope Afrofutusim will keep growing and become more mainstream in film, television, music, and everyday life.
