“Futurism is a mindset where you are thinking about the future you want and moving backward from there. If you think of a world that has people of color properly represented and we’re able to feel liberated, then you have to define that future and reverse engineer it,” - Anatola Araba, filmmaker, futurist, and founder of Reimagine Story Lab https://lasentinel.net/anatola-araba-decolonizing-data-through-afrofuturism.html

Sun Ra left Earth on May 30, 1993, but his orbit never veered. He’s still out there moving through the cosmos, composing far flung futures. Space is the place - and for all my fellow Afronauts, the mission is still live. Let’s launch.

Black Panther mapped a defiant future untouched by colonialism, pulling from across Africa to remix design, sound, and memory into something we could all feel. Coogler still building with the same crew says everything about staying rooted while pushing the vision forward. 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9kaJD0KY-A

Full stop - one of the most resonant definitions I’ve ever heard: “When people ask me, ‘What’s your definition of art?’ You know what I tell them? Structured feelings.” — Jack Whitten Jack expanded painting to map memory and layer time. Collage was his way of knowing. As someone working in fragments too, this resonated deeply, and the reverberations only grow. 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1mI71d2Plc

Really resonated with the “Electronic Music in North America vs Europe” panel at WIRE FEST. One for the @refraction playbook - the most durable IRL ecosystems start in the underground and are led by community, not capital. Cities follow the culture, not the other way around.

AfroCannes 2025 is stepping into its Afrofuturist era with this year’s theme: A Diamond in the Rough. Panels, screenings, and tributes all rooted in futures imagined through a Black lens. Feels overdue, but right on time. https://www.afrocannes.com/

African artists deserve more than applause, they deserve ownership. KOSBAAR Management's Afro Sound to the World blends live performance with Web3 education so creatives can mint their work and preserve culture onchain. It’s part concert, part masterclass, and all empowerment. Head to Artizen to help bring this project to life. https://artizen.fund/index/p/afro-sound-to-the-world-open-mic-edition

Black mothers in Cleveland face some of the nation’s highest maternal and infant mortality rates. All Our Babies: Birthing in the Afrofuture reframes birth as cultural and communal, fusing art, ancestral practices, and doula support to heal and empower. By centering community care and creativity, this initiative holds real potential to transform health outcomes.

For communities grounded in story, gathering, and memory, we need tools that do more than scale but expand possibilities. IRL Chain is part of that future. At @refraction, we’re building infrastructure that reflects who we are and the world we want to live in. Thanks @syndicate for documenting the journey:

“Every portrait I make is a counterterrorist attack to counter some kind of attack on American history and on Black American history and on Black Americans,” says painter Amy Sherald. Best known for her Michelle Obama portrait, her “American Sublime” Whitney retrospective expands upon her world of complex grayscale figures ablaze in bold hues and unwavering gaze. I greatly admire her practice and won’t miss this show - Sherald’s work forces us to reckon with our past and imagine what we can become. Read more and hear Amy discuss American Sublime: https://www.npr.org/2025/04/08/nx-s1-5351010/amy-sherald-american-sublime-whitney-museum

“The way we tell stories through art, science and philosophy is really special. Seeing these ideas brought to life through color and movement inspired me.” Lewis Hamilton, 7x Formula 1 champion and style icon, on his new Dior capsule. From leopard-print tweed jackets to recycled velvet boots, this drop reimagines how fashion narrates Black culture through an Afrofuturistic lens. What do you think of this direction, and how collections like it impact the cultural landscape @aethernet?

“Everyone deserves spaces of beauty and light.” Diébédo Francis Kéré, the 2022 Pritzker Prize laureate - the first African and Black architect to receive the profession’s highest honor - offers a visionary model for world building. By combining local materials, community collaboration, and climate-conscious design, Kéré demonstrates that the foundation for equitable, inspiring futures lies in centering people’s needs and embracing sustainable innovation. https://www.wired.com/story/an-afrofuturist-architect-diebedo-francis-kere-builds-for-a-better-future/
