This Black History Month, join us as we uplift and celebrate Afrofuturism: a movement in literature, music, art and more featuring futuristic and science fiction themes that incorporate elements of Black history and culture!

Take a night flight to Chabot to celebrate Black History Month in collaboration with AfroComicCon, Star Dust, and more! From themed cocktails for the grown-ups to exciting hands-on crafting for the little space explorers, this all-ages event is sure to be a hit with the whole family!

AfroComicCon will be hosting a panel discussion on the history of Afrofuturism in the Bay Area and Stardust will be doing TWO live performances in our on-site planetarium!

You don’t want to miss this Center-wide celebration!
