The 2021 edition of Live Ideas, Altered-Worlds: Black Utopia and The Age of Acceleration, explores this second wave of Afrofuturism as an alternative to the social anomie, reactionary impulses and neofascism of late capitalism.

From May 11-15, the interdisciplinary hybrid festival will unfold across multiple dimensions through installations, conversations, and performances at the intersection of arts, techno-culture, sci-fi, social sciences, philosophy, and the imagination.

Join me on May 13th for an Afrofuturist Conversation with Tim Fielder, Greg Anderson-Elysee, Jason Reeves, and Regine Sawyer.
