Afrofuturism is a creative perspective where Black culture, imagination, and technology are combined. This way of visual storytelling is about dreaming boldly and building a world where Black joy, innovation, and creativity can shine.
Even though this might be the first time you’re consciously hearing about Afrofuturism, there is a big chance you’ve seen it before in movies and shows like Black Panther, Black is King, and Iwájú.
For this competition, we want you to dive deep into the visual lens of Afrofuturism and experiment with its symbolism and aesthetic storytelling. Do this by creating a moodboard that explores futuristic landscapes or cities rooted in Black culture, incorporating fashion and architecture, expressing joy and creativity, and drawing inspiration from Afrofuturist art.
Don’t forget to highlight the sources where you got your inspiration from!
Below you can find an example of a moodboard. Don’t forget to include your username in your entry.
