"Afrofuturism explores the complexities of history, culture, and social structures. Latent space helps training models handle the complexity of large datasets. My work in the SFO Museum exhibition interrogates and experiments with these concepts and practices." Artist Nettrice Gaskins, Woman on Afrofuturism Routing my next flight West through SFO to explore this captivating conceptual airspace where Afrofuturism and latent space meet - two creative systems for navigating complexity, memory, and possibility. https://www.sfomuseum.org/exhibitions/women-afrofuturism

Memetic scaffolding for antimemetic truths may be the most overlooked tool in cultural counter-design.

"I use this lens because it’s a very good way to frame the mindset of the innovators in electronic music. Most of the innovators of these moments (Sun Ra, Lee Scratch Perry, King Tubby, etc.) were important visionaries and used imagination and dreaming to shape their own reality, which was worldbuilding to change others’ reality, as well as our future." Professor & iconic sonic artist, King Britt on Afrofuturism and the history of Black electronic music

“Futurism is a mindset where you are thinking about the future you want and moving backward from there. If you think of a world that has people of color properly represented and we’re able to feel liberated, then you have to define that future and reverse engineer it,” - Anatola Araba, filmmaker, futurist, and founder of Reimagine Story Lab https://lasentinel.net/anatola-araba-decolonizing-data-through-afrofuturism.html

Sun Ra left Earth on May 30, 1993, but his orbit never veered. He’s still out there moving through the cosmos, composing far flung futures. Space is the place - and for all my fellow Afronauts, the mission is still live. Let’s launch.

Black Panther mapped a defiant future untouched by colonialism, pulling from across Africa to remix design, sound, and memory into something we could all feel. Coogler still building with the same crew says everything about staying rooted while pushing the vision forward. 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9kaJD0KY-A

Full stop - one of the most resonant definitions I’ve ever heard: “When people ask me, ‘What’s your definition of art?’ You know what I tell them? Structured feelings.” — Jack Whitten Jack expanded painting to map memory and layer time. Collage was his way of knowing. As someone working in fragments too, this resonated deeply, and the reverberations only grow. 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1mI71d2Plc

Really resonated with the “Electronic Music in North America vs Europe” panel at WIRE FEST. One for the @refraction playbook - the most durable IRL ecosystems start in the underground and are led by community, not capital. Cities follow the culture, not the other way around.

AfroCannes 2025 is stepping into its Afrofuturist era with this year’s theme: A Diamond in the Rough. Panels, screenings, and tributes all rooted in futures imagined through a Black lens. Feels overdue, but right on time. https://www.afrocannes.com/

African artists deserve more than applause, they deserve ownership. KOSBAAR Management's Afro Sound to the World blends live performance with Web3 education so creatives can mint their work and preserve culture onchain. It’s part concert, part masterclass, and all empowerment. Head to Artizen to help bring this project to life. https://artizen.fund/index/p/afro-sound-to-the-world-open-mic-edition
