Curated by Troy-Jeffrey Allen (O.D.B.: Lyrical Ruckus in the City, Chuck D presents Apocalypse ’91: Revolution Never Sleeps), AFROFUTURES is a collection of comics and articles meant to control the narrative regarding our future. Nine tales of sci-fi , fantasy, action, horror, and drama, alongside a pair of exposés on the creative thinkers that have shaped and are shaping our future.
What is Afrofutures?
20+ creators, nine stories, and one DJ! AFROFUTURES invites Black creatives to run wild with their unique, thunderous imaginations!
AFROFUTURES is…
- An oversized comic “megazine”
- 100+ pages
- Packed with black & white comics, articles, and full-color comics
- For ages 17 and up
- Likely under the influence
AFROFUTURES is a concept album in comic form. Its Master of Ceremony is an artificially intelligent robot named “808.” Looking back at us from the future, 808 recontextualizes and remixes the saga of Black mythology -- past, present, and future -- as only a DJ could.
Through
808's beat-matching, you're introduced to an alternate history. One
where Jazz singers hunt Nazis, Hip-Hop icons meet in the afterlife,
superheroes rescue the first Black President of the United States, and
more!
