But out of chaos, comes clarity, renewed strength and vision. Red Spring explores the circular nature of systemic racism and the public policies—public safety, health, and wealth—that adversely impacts Black, African, and Indigenous communities and became more visible in the wake of the social unrest following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and others. This work is remembrance and resurrection, resistance and restored hope in a social, economic, and political landscape of uprisings and upheaval, strange fruit buried in scorched earth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1647542774304-WEWDA2R6D1A5EG4CR327/redspringpt2.jpg Home - Red Spring Part II: Upheavals & Resistance Conceived by Reynaldo Anderson and Stacey Robinson of the Black Speculative Arts Movement and guest-curated by Sheree Renée Thomas, Danielle L. Littlefield, and Dacia Polk, this four-part exhibition brings together the voices and visions of artists from around the world. Created in the height of the Black Lives Matter movement and during an increasingly distressing international pandemic, this work responds to the COVID-19 pandemic, cyclical anti-Black violence, rising climate change that is having an immediate, real-time disastrous effect on communities of color, poor governance, trans-humanism, and an accelerating, technologically driven, predatory global economic system on the verge of collapse that intentionally exploits "undeveloped" nations for their natural resources around the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1647542773671-136TGEI1YHHWK9487WCJ/redspringpart4.jpg Home - Red Spring Part III: Afrofuturism & New Myths As the world unfolds and reveals itself all around us—Afrofuturism, the Black Speculative Arts, and other Futurisms offer a powerful lens for creative exploration and imagination. The artistic expressions that occupy this global, constantly evolving space are broad, playful, at turns ominous and optimistic. Black artists in the United States have penned, published, and performed proto-Afrofuturistic visions of liberation and imagination for over 160 years. The mythologies and cultures they have drawn upon are ancient and new. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1647542774278-QZCL9ZQ62QYWL4IQI9G9/redspringpart5.jpg Home - Red Spring Part IV: Wildseeds & Black Futures Free will and wildness are underlying themes in this highly original work that also speaks to the importance of a less predatory and more natural relationship to each other and the land on which we live. Wildseed is one of many artistic creations from Africa and the Africa Diaspora that sees Afrofuturism as a powerful tool to expand and shape the discussions around environmentalism and climate change. As shown in her Parable novels, Butler knew what many are recognizing now--that a more responsible relationship to the earth is critical in creating strong, healthy, vibrant Black Futures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1647542773670-GYXW7TEXFLXNRSTJLXVF/blackangelofhistory.jpg Home - The Black Angel of History The Black Angel of History exhibition is an analysis of visual culture and technology within the genre of Afrofuturism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/798fe2a7-cdc0-4587-bafb-22206688c4c9/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/7c4aaaab-8246-4a9d-ac81-2be268a8c6c0/nsquare.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/45db4885-6ebf-4e5e-be6a-93d52941911e/nyclivearts.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/8da8887f-ab6c-4247-9315-7f8de0d7969c/googlearts.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/cb20fa34-4daa-42e6-8fe9-d1f3ec22d475/nypl.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/ff8a1421-a6cf-4b02-b271-a708c2c7f30a/202770914_3024094127834864_4627318891315367694_n.jpg Home - THE AFROFUTURISM TV https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/e5e37d41-8341-4672-bff2-cd03f93644cd/General+Social+Assets-1080x1920.jpg Home - Launching Jan 24’ Join us on a thought-provoking journey through artistic movements in classical music, jazz, cabaret, opera, art song, and more as we investigate the forces that led to the fall of the Weimar Republic— and the many lessons about the fragility of democracy that can be gleaned from its extraordinary collapse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1706072315644-7CKWBKSUALCMX6QVZAY4/Weimar-Social+Cards-Aventureras-The+Battle+Against+Sexual+Morality-1080x1080.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1706072315980-MPTQE9XA4DW1YT1CX65Q/Weimar-Social+Cards-The+Comet+Cometh-A+Graphic+Adaptation-1080x1080.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1706072316849-UP0JIKOSY8LLGBR4JGMX/Weimar-Social+Cards-Book+Display+on+the+Weimar+Era-1080x1080.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1706072317137-W7W6YRWIT41W6CAFESK8/Weimar-Social+Cards-Colonial+Memory+Project-1080x1080.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1706072317739-VP3VMVV3F78D750DKSFP/Weimar-Social+Cards-The+Comet+Cometh-Talks-1080x1080.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1706072318102-DBI0WHD7JVKJMA2ET12J/Weimar-Social+Cards-Harmony-A+New+Musical-1080x1080.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1706072318782-HGKK140J63PKUXI5QNX1/Weimar-Social+Cards-What+Inspired-1080x1080.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/1706069917677-MOY7010L67C30PEJNUKG/Weimar-Social+Cards-The+Comet+Cometh-A+Graphic+Adaptation-1080x1080.jpg Home - The Comet Cometh: Talks Germany had a profound influence on the intellectual development and worldview of author and civil rights activist W.

Although the Declaration proclaimed that all men are endowed, Ignatius Sancho—a Black Briton, demonstrated not only the full humanity of Black people but also their artistic, intellectual, and civic contributions. In the presentation, we will explore Sancho’s influence as a writer and political commentator, discuss the social and historical context in which he lived, and provide a brief analysis of his music.

As a creative, Queen explores spoken word poetry, digital collage, and animations along with installation work that touch on concepts surrounding the Afrofuturistic meditative space. Queen uses the lens of Afrofuturism 2.0 in her visual arts, mindfulness, and storytelling to facilitate discourse that decolonizes the Black identity and affirms all intersections of Blackness. She practices Afrofuturism 2.0 as an exploration and reclaiming of various black identities through multiple dimensions. Her work is a Meta-analytical Afrofuturistic convergence of meditation, music, art, and Noetic sciences through spoken word poetry, digital collage, animations, and installation work as performed and lived through intersectional Blackness. Her work allows her to speak about all intersections and amplify the voices of those who share similar experiences. Nicole “Nico” Taylor (she/her) is a writer, scholar, dancer, cosplayer, and activist who uses feminism and critical race theory to dissect social constructions surrounding race and representation, especially as they pertain to how we make sense of the images that surround us. As a trained performer in Afro-Caribbean folk dance, Nico has participated in many events showcasing the beauty and vibrancy of Caribbean culture, which included performing in the Opening Ceremony for the Pan Am Games Toronto in 2015. As a scholar, her interest in pop culture and designation as a proud blerd spurred the pursuit of a Master of Arts degree at Concordia University. Ultimately, Nico’s scholarly work and her engagement and examination of cosplay subculture aims to amplify visibility for cosplayers of African descent, construct space where alternative ways of imagining, creating, and being can be explored, and find ways to weave the liberation of speculative processes throughout lived experiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/2aa30717-0b7e-45cb-9b0f-58a57339cc5e/B_Edwards_Headshot.jpeg About - Make it stand out Barrington S.

The curators’ critical interpretation of this avatar through the lens of black speculative cultural production reveals that the thread that joins the objects on view—both real and imagined— is in fact the commitment to storytelling. The exhibiting artists and those who inspire them do not ask for the right or permission to seek alternate realities. Instead, they now envision the world they want to inhabit and take action to create it. The collection of visual materials on view serves as a creative, experimental and educational impetus to analyze the arts and design as part of an ever evolving discourse that spans the past, present, and future. https://www.bsam-art.com/new-events-2 daily 0.75 2026-01-21 https://www.bsam-art.com/new-events-2/2026/1/21/the-sonic-imagination-of-ignacio-sancho monthly 0.5 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aea8205e2ccd1b6c8716b91/5b1e17e5-ce7c-4326-9dc4-22d2dd00b83e/The+Sonic+Imagination+of+Ignacio+Sancho.PNG New Events -
