Asli Dukan with Wildseeds, sorryyoufeeluncomfortable, and AfroFuturist Affair -- Organize your own temporality: notes on self-determined temporalities and radical futurities / Rasheedah Phillips -- "I feel love": race, gender, technē, and the (im)proper sonic habitus / Kara Keeling -- Afrofuturism on my mind: imagining Black Lives in a post-Obama world / Anna Everett -- Brother Kyot / Daniel Kojo Schrade -- Intervening into the future script: a conversation about fiction, magic, and the speculative power of images / Kiluanji Kia Henda and Nadine Siegert -- Dismantle imperia / Robyn Smith -- Textures of time: abstraction, afronauts, and the active in the artwork of Daniel Kojo Schrade / Tobias Nagl -- There are storytellers everywhere / Raimi Gbadamosi -- Prophetika / Abigail DeVille -- The secessionist manifestos of certain received wisdoms / John Akomfrah and Kodwo Eshun -- They sent you? / Jim Chuchu -- Alienation and queer discontent / Henriette Gunkel -- Far space-wise: without edges a center cannot exist in stasis / Jamika Ajalon -- Future / Rasheedah Phillips.
A new take on Afrofuturism, this book gathers together a range of contemporary voices who, carrying legacies of 500 years of contact between Africa, Europe, and the Americas, reach towards the stars and unknown planets, galaxies, and ways of being. Writing from queer and feminist perspectives and circumnavigating continents, they recalibrate definitions of Afrofuturism. The editors and contributors of this exciting volume thus reflect on the re-emergence of Black visions of political and cultural futures, proposing practices, identities, and collectivities.
