This course provides a foundational exploration of Afrofuturism, a cultural movement that blends science fiction, fantasy, and history with the experiences of the African diaspora. You'll learn how Afrofuturism reshapes Black identity by imagining empowered futures, reclaiming history, and integrating African mythology with technology. Through lessons on literature, music, visual arts, and historical influences, this course introduces key figures such as Octavia Butler, Sun Ra, and Samuel R. Delany, and explores how their work laid the groundwork for modern Afrofuturist thought. Each lesson includes engaging discussions, creative assignments, and opportunities for reflection, encouraging you to see Afrofuturism as both a philosophy and a tool for liberation.
