Afrofuturism is a cultural movement that combines elements of science fiction, history, and African mythology to explore the future through a Black lens. It envisions a world where African culture and heritage play a central role in shaping technology, art, and society. This genre often reimagines the past and envisions a future that empowers Black identities and experiences. The movement spans various forms of media, including literature, music, and visual arts. Notable figures in Afrofuturism include Octavia Butler, Sun Ra, and Janelle Monáe, who use their work to challenge stereotypes and envision new possibilities for Black communities in a futuristic context.
