“Basquiat’s art insists on placing Black figures within mythic, scientific, and futuristic contexts, echoing the larger project of Afrofuturism, which uses art to reclaim erased histories while imagining liberated futures.”

Insightful 2015 article by Guy Emerson Mount exploring how Basquiat’s work challenges dominant narratives, uplifts Black voices, and envisions new possibilities for art and culture.
