This article explains how Afrofuturism is being used to explore and define black political and personal identity.

this is a very cool art movement. i kind of watched black panther movie passively and didn’t think about it through this lens, but of course it’s very connected to afrofuturism.

I think afrofuturism is one of the coolest and most successful mediums for the goals that it aspires to reach, if there are any at all. I’ve read books that fall into this genre and I find them so captivating. I think no matter what the problem at hand making it more creative and beautiful to learn about can never hurt.
