AFRONAUT ASCENSION

A Creative Exploration of Afrofuturism & the Avant Garde

To me, Afrofuturism is an a radical practice of imagining the Black Body in a future where it is free from its current state of oppression. It is essential to my survival. I invite you join me in learning more about the pioneers and innovators of Afrofuturist thought and literature and performance.
