Wow! My AI model is now live on @titlesxyz, who have been killer collaborators. It's been a dream to see the beautifully art made by fellow creators so far, and this is just the start. Get the full story & link to the model in my TITLES interview. Thanks so much @sorenwrenn 🙏🏽 https://titles.mirror.xyz/--pL9zBzTCyilQ-Eha3oj-kinyv3kP_5VCHxg6g0j4w

“Afrofuturism offers us a way to heal, to imagine beyond the brokenness, and to construct the future where equity and justice are not exceptions but the rule.” Civil Rights scholar Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, MLK Day lecture, University of Florida. This is Afrofuturism at its essence, a refusal to accept inherited limits and a bold assertion that we can craft something new. Dr. Jeffries reminds us that Dr. King’s vision wasn’t just poetic idealism; it was a radical plan to dismantle oppression and elevate Black expression as the blueprint for what’s next. This talk resonated deeply, especially in seeing creativity as an urgent, transformative tool for change. https://www.youtube.com/live/Qf0E_U-966s?si=6jiTFlcwA5V3vUbb

Baba Shop Accra captures the soul of Ghana’s barbershops where style meets history & identity is shaped. This doc moves through time, from pre-colonial roots to modern hubs of artistry. NYC needs this - our barbershop culture mirrors these spaces of invention & community.

Massive props to @callmelatasha for her AiR with @fwb! Tash55 is next-level - mix-mastering tech, art, and history into sacred, future-forward narratives. Hyped to see what she dreams up during this residency. True world-building in action! What do you expect @aethernet?

What futures do we create when tech bends to culture, not the other way around? @refraction x LUKSO are funding projects to remix abstraction - where digital, physical, and ancestral worlds collide. 400 $LYX grants. Build what's next. 🌀 Apps close Jan 23. How can we let artists know about this @aethernet ??

Before looking at other similar moments @aethernet, the attempts at blatant erasure of the Jan 6 events are diabolical. Movements like Afrofuturism, that look back centuries, become all the more imperative when institutional amnesia, just a year in the rearview, aims to literally white wash history.

"The future is dark - but the darkness holds both terror and possibility. Blackness has always been the place where the future emerges first." - Walidah Imarisha, Octavia's Brood When power clings to the past, collapse is inevitable. Afrofuturism illuminates how the real future springs forth from the rubble. 🖼️ x me w/ @titlesxyz > Midjourney > Luma

What if time was a rhythm? What if imagination was the future? I’m digging into The Afrofuturist Evolution by Ytasha Womack for myself and the Black Space Agency community. Womack shows how Afrofuturism isn’t just a concept to study—it’s a lived practice rooted in rhythm, myth, and movement. From griot traditions to Blacktronica, she explores how Black cultures shape futures by remixing memory and possibility. For BSA, it’s a call to make space for imagination as power, to create futures that expand both who we are and who we can become. https://sistahscifi.com/products/preordered-signed-the-afrofuturist-evolution-creative-paths-to-self-discovery-by-ytasha-l-womack

💯 It also underscores the importance of building from an authentic experiential and cultural space that can’t be copied or flipped.
