Carnegie Hall Afrofuturism Festival 2022

Afrofuturism Festival at Carnegie Hall

Take a journey to the world of Afrofuturism—an ever-expansive aesthetic and practice—where music, visual arts, science fiction, and technology intersect to imagine alternate realities and a liberated future viewed through the lens of Black cultures. Immerse yourself in Afrofuturism, Carnegie Hall’s 2022 citywide festival.

Dr. Louis Chude-Sokei, Director of the African American Studies Program, and author, Ytasha Womack are two of the leading Afrofuturism experts brought together to share their passion and knowledge in creating the festival.

On February 28th, AFAM Studies welcomes Ytasha Womack who will be giving a virtual talk at Boston University, “Black Life & Afrofuturism”  as part of the Writing Black Lives Series sponsored by African American Studies, the BU Center for the Humanities, the Dept of English and Dept of History.
