This course examines Afrofuturism as a tool for social change, exploring how speculative thought intersects with activism, historical revisionism, and identity politics. You'll analyze how Afrofuturist works challenge colonial histories, reclaim time, and envision alternative systems of justice and governance. Through discussions on Afrofuturism’s role in movements like #WakandaTheVote, the Black Speculative Arts Movement, and the Octavia’s Brood anthology, this course emphasizes how creative storytelling can be a form of resistance. You'll also develop your own Afrofuturist project—whether a short story, visual piece, or multimedia work—bringing together what you’ve learned to create your own vision of the future.
