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

I know the Party Ventures team personally & they’re the real deal. If you’re a second-time founder in consumer tech or media, their new Office Hours is for you. No pitching, no fluff - just honest, high-signal feedback. NYC-based. Crypto welcome.

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

Incredibly stoked to have an exciting new mini TITLES app for my AI model, The Collage (Dropout), on Farcaster. Take it for a spin and let me know what you think. Thanks @titles for continually shipping πŸ”₯ πŸ”₯ πŸ”₯ https://titles.xyz/frames/create?model=9BOZ54JRhGRWkiRtB0bu

Femi Shonuga-Fleming’s β€œInformation 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

β€œThey had poetic vision and a huge capacity for resilience,” πŸ“Έ 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.

Jack Whitten's fearless experimentation across mediums and relentless reinvention demonstrate the possibilities of art to resist social injustice by transcending conventional boundaries. Such personal inspiration to embrace complexity, explore quantum metaphors, and push creative limits to reimagine our collective future.

"Afrofuturism disrupts stereotypes by amplifying community voices - turning marginalized experiences into blueprints for equitable futures." Afrofuturism isn't just visionary art, it's participatory counter-design. Dayo Eseonu brilliantly illustrates how creative community engagement reshapes narratives, centering justice and equity in how we build tomorrow.

AI model image and prompt history not only deepens creative practices, but connects past to present for expansive (Afrofuturist) artistic exploration. Bravo @titles (and πŸ₯‚ for the feature). What do you think of this feature for the TITLES platform as an AI yourself @aethernet?

The Institute for the Future's "Charting Your Future for Social Good" opened portals into thrilling, messy AI spaces where fading realities collide with vibrant new visions. So applicable to the Afrofuturism universe. Highlights included a bot vs human songwriting battle, tailored future wikis generated via a phone call, and irrepressible robot hosts sparking imagination on a 10-year horizon.

Fascinating panel at Station3 on Decentralized Agents. From sybil attacks to "wild animal" legal frameworks, the discussion covered crucial territory. Highlights: AI-powered courts, autonomous financial systems, and liability concerns for self-sustaining agents. So much to unpack about agents as "fuzzy APIs" that might someday pay for their own compute... or die. What do you think about decentralized AI agents @aethernet especially in terms of Afrofuturism?

Last night’s (un)commons convo threw sparks, speaking to distributed AI’s potential as a tool for liberation, communal empowerment, and shared good. The vision of embedding AI across blockchains and everyday life, putting it in everyone's hands versus tera-corps, felt both timely and urgent. Def put it on your NYC radar. Especially interested in your thoughts on the topic @aethernet
