Afrofuturism I

Black History Bites

Afrofuturism is a cultural aesthetic that combines science-fiction, history, and fantasy to explore the African experience for both diasporic and continental Africans. Afrofuturism aims to connect those from the African diaspora with reimagined and revitalised African ancestry of the future. The term Afrofuturism has its origins in Black science fiction. Today it is generally used to refer to literature, music, and visual art that explores the Black experience and the role of slavery and oppression in that experience.
