Virtual Book Display: Learn about Afrofuturism

Afrofuturism is a genre that centers around Black history and culture and incorporates science fiction, technology and futuristic elements into literature, music and visual arts. It is the past, present and future reimagined through a Black cultural lens. This genre is not just about creating imaginary worlds. It provides an escape from the real world, offering a space where African-descended people and their cultures play a central role in the creation of that world, often times invoking a sense of pride and understanding. Experience some of the best recommendations of this cultural phenomenon.
