Afro-Futurism's Must-See Display at the Schomburg Museum

If you have any time as we embark on the holiday season, make it a mission to check out the Schomburg's current exhibit which ends on December 31st:  Unveiling Visions: The Alchemy of the Black Imagination

This is an awesome exhibit of the black imagination as we search for wholeness, freedom and truthful expression through art.  The exhibit is timely when this year we all witnessed black bodies on video being brutalized, murdered and disrespected and left to wonder: what is next?  

This art form is a fusion of sci-fi and black liberation ideology meant to inspire our imaginations for a place or future where we can freely explore, create and control our minds, and our destiny.  Some future place where we are just safe to be.  It's a major nod to Afro-futurism and pays homage to its architects: Sun-Ra and George Clinton.  Make sure to bring your children so they maintain their childish curiosity and that we adults might nurture our imaginations as well.  Who knows, it may just save us.
