The Sound of Afrofuturism: Mapping the Sonic Imagination


  • Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts Eatonville, Florida USA (map)

In 2020 I began a thematic exploration of Afrofuturism in conjunction with the Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts and Humanities. The 2020 festival asked the public to consider, "What is Afrofuturism? Following up on the question, this year’s theme recognizes the long legacy of sound in the black experience and seeks to explore "What is the Sound of Afrofuturism?"

Listen to this episode of Every Tongue Got to Confess and take advantage of the Afrofuturist playlist curated for this year’s festival.
