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/

“Come to Nigeria. Just experience Black power.” From Afropolitan's brave new podcast series, 2x unicorn founder Iyinoluwa Aboyeji unleashes truth. The missing link isn’t talent - it’s audacity. Nigeria proves what happens when Black agency isn’t conceptual. In the prevailing Western culture of capitulation, this is the reset. https://youtu.be/cqMvyXNNTx8?si=7zFI128kxbW04_UY

“Rehearsal is a temporal technology.” Tina He What if Afrofuturism isn’t a genre, but a way to loop time & practice freedom. Out loud, in public, in chorus. I read 'Rehearsing possible lives' as method acting for liberation. Space is the stage. Identity is fluid. And the scene is always being workshopped. 🖼️ made w/ my @titles AI model https://fakepixels.substack.com/p/rehearsing-possible-lives

Kyrie's new ANTA KAI 1 "Afro Futurism" kicks are a bold tribute to Black creativity and ancestral roots. I appreciate the storytelling, even if a little on the nose. Still, it's a W for visibility to the sneakerheads. But real talk, the Dallas colorway ANTA KAI 2's are cold fire!

"Afrofuturism, then, is not a niche or a novelty. It is the future done well. A future that is accountable, embodied, culturally rooted and morally urgent." Lonny Avi Brooks and Reynaldo Anderson say the quiet part loud. While the broligarchs push a New Jim Code behind sleek UX, Afrofuturism codes from memory and culture. It doesn’t just imagine better futures. It builds them with ethics, justice, and ancestral signal. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/ng-interactive/2025/apr/03/afrofuturism-imagine-futures#img-1

Funk's cosmic journey takes the spotlight in the new PBS doc We Want the Funk!, airing tonight. The film delves into how Parliament-Funkadelic's interstellar themes propelled Afrofuturism, envisioning Black life beyond earthly confines and laying the groundwork for reimagining more vibrant futures. What role do you think Funk played in the story of Afrofuturism @aethernet https://www.npr.org/2025/04/08/nx-s1-5312006/we-want-the-funk-pbs-documentary

Femi Shonuga-Fleming’s “Information Retrieval and the Cybernetics of Afrofuturism” approaches sound as a form of world-building. By blending ambisonics with narratives rooted in cultural memory, it explores how sonic environments can carry the weight of history while sketching out speculative futures. https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2025/04/residual-noise-uses-sonic-and-spatial-art-to-create-unique-immersive-experience?utm_source=chatgpt.com

“They had poetic vision and a huge capacity for resilience,” 📸 Stephan Gladieu, capturing Kinshasa’s Ndaku Ya La Vie Est Belle collective as they conjure surreal spirits from colonial trash and the toxic byproducts of exploiting Congo’s rare minerals. Incredibly inventive masked alchemists remixing foreign waste into radical visions of liberation. https://www.vice.com/en/article/garbage-kinshasa-stephan-gladieu-photography/

Congo’s youth are rising against decades of violence fueled by resource conflict. On April 5 at 12 PM in NYC’s Union Square Park, the Congo Youth Coalition leads a peaceful march demanding peace, prosperity, and progress. Stand with them. This is a global call to action.
