Amy Sherald’s American Sublime at the Whitney Museum felt like holding space. Bold Black figures, rendered with grace and full interiority. Her voice in the audio guide underscored how rooted these works are in her lived experience. I hope her stance on social issues stays visible at the federally funded National Portrait Gallery this fall.

AI filters process over 400 million images daily yet still misread 4C curls and darker skin. In Tech Safari, Tehila Okagbue explains how this failure of representation erodes trust. Visibility, equity, and control over our image are essential to shaping futures that include us. https://techsafari.beehiiv.com/p/why-can-t-ai-see-my-curls

In “PawnShop,” Philadelphia poet and artist LindoYes builds an Afrofuturist world where joy and love are redistributed by masked agents. Mental health is public infrastructure. In real life, he shares poems and tools through gumball machines across the city. https://www.phillyvoice.com/sci-fi-graphic-novel-lindoyes-universal-healthcare-afrofuturism/

Last weeks AFROFUTURISM panel Ethan Cohen Gallery gave me a lot to think about. Grateful to Renée Cox, Nanette Carter, Algernon Miller, Tyrone Mitchell & moderator Seph Rodney. The expression of Afrofuturism across each artist’s diverse and accomplished practice was inspiring. Thanks to KODA and all who made it happen.

Reimagined a recently posted Burning Man self-portrait using the stellar closed alpha of @titles creative tools. Disco ain't retro…it’s recursive.

Onome Ekeh’s Speculations at Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires uses AI to imagine an Africa untouched by slavery or colonization. Their Africa Jetset series puts Black leaders and artists center stage in alternate realities. As someone working with memory and tech I’m struck by how it rewrites what was and shapes what still could be. 🔗 https://www.newgenres.com/2025/03/onome-ekeh-afrofuturism-ai-and-memory.html

I was a Canadian ska & hardcore kid who inevitably got into Living Colour. Fast-forward and I never thought to consider them Afrofuturist but given their unapologetic culture-bending impact, how could I not? Rock their Black Music Month Tiny Desk and you'll feel the same. https://youtu.be/bzAI4F_ks5s?si=Ts5GwfIOGhcmbnBu

“I knew that the conditions, the events, would be forgotten or deliberately erased. In this work, the people’s words are the main material.” — Almagul Menlibayeva AI Realism weaves memory and machine to surface what Soviet power tried to erase. Futures shaped by buried pasts. A lot to parse from the artist’s purposeful process. https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/688648/almagul-menlibayeva-ai-reimagining-censored-government-work

A new AR tour launched this Juneteenth unearths stories of Portsmouth’s African Burying Ground. 200+ people of African descent were laid to rest on the 1705 site, rediscovered in 2003. Tech enables the Black Heritage Trail to reclaim nearly erased narratives, so ancestral voices guide us forward. https://www.axios.com/local/boston/2025/06/16/black-heritage-trail-nh-ar

The A Corp lets creatives pool resources, share upside, and own what they build. From my work in DAOs and cultural economies, it’s a model for real-world coordination toward real equity. Especially urgent for (afro diaspora) artists historically leveraged by systems not built for them. https://www.ted.com/talks/yancey_strickler_forget_hustle_culture_behold_the_artist_corporation

An Afrofuturist Crypto Future - Uses blockchain to preserve memory - Centers community autonomy over speculative capital - Reclaims data as relationship, not commodity - Fosters a new Black financial imaginary These remix points emerge from Julian Chambliss’s Afrofuturist intervention into the crypto conversation. They reflect a deeper call to transform blockchain from a tool of speculative extraction into a vessel for memory, care, and cultural continuity. Cultural counter-design meets crypto is core to my practice, so a lot to parse. What are your thoughts? https://www.afrofantastic.com/blog/the-law-trials-5-shadow-money

In Coogler’s Sinners, wooden nickels, gold coins, and paper dollars expose who holds power - and who’s left out. Web3, at its best, offers a shot at real sovereignty for those long forced to trade in rigged currencies.

230M African jobs will need digital skills by 2030. AI isn’t just threat or savior, it’s a tool. The question is who wields it. From AI tutors in Lagos to smarter farming in Kano, there’s a chance to shape the future on African terms. https://techsafari.beehiiv.com/p/will-ai-kill-all-the-jobs

"Afrofuturism explores the complexities of history, culture, and social structures. Latent space helps training models handle the complexity of large datasets. My work in the SFO Museum exhibition interrogates and experiments with these concepts and practices." Artist Nettrice Gaskins, Woman on Afrofuturism Routing my next flight West through SFO to explore this captivating conceptual airspace where Afrofuturism and latent space meet - two creative systems for navigating complexity, memory, and possibility. https://www.sfomuseum.org/exhibitions/women-afrofuturism

Memetic scaffolding for antimemetic truths may be the most overlooked tool in cultural counter-design.

"I use this lens because it’s a very good way to frame the mindset of the innovators in electronic music. Most of the innovators of these moments (Sun Ra, Lee Scratch Perry, King Tubby, etc.) were important visionaries and used imagination and dreaming to shape their own reality, which was worldbuilding to change others’ reality, as well as our future." Professor & iconic sonic artist, King Britt on Afrofuturism and the history of Black electronic music
