Curator Lecture – Mothership: Voyage into Afrofuturism

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join Holy Names University for an illustrated lecture by curator Rhonda Pagnozzi about an exciting new art exhibition at the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA). “Afrofuturism is a lot of things. It’s the past, present, and future reimagined through a Black cultural lens. Visionary, spiritual, and generative, it is art, music, literature, and cinema that expresses a just future where Black people and Black ideas thrive. It is fantasy and science fiction that envisions the African Diaspora and Black culture as central in a technically advanced and culturally rich civilization. It is also the ordinary—now— in this very moment and the everyday pleasures that may often be seen as mundane. Afrofuturism is a strategy for Black community building.” (OMCA website)
