This Thursday (2/20) we will kick off the first of our new Off the Wall series with an evening exploring Afrofuturism. Off the Wall collaborates with artists to create a performative and interactive experience inspired by one of our collections or special exhibitions.We’ve asked participating artists, Daví and Saya Woolfalk to explain what Afrofuturism means to their work and Saya replied:As an artist, Afrofuturism allows me a creative space that is grounded and free. It is a gateway to other possible worlds. Not any kind of world, but a world that reckons with and dismantles the mythologies of history, and uses fantasy, trickery, and disguise to re-imagine contemporary realities.Posted by Jess Wilcox -- source link
