(Re)imagining Black Futures in the age of Wakanda

February 24, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Free

Join Africology NOW in discussing the impact of Marvel’s Black Panther franchise on representations of Black history, culture, and identity in the media. Our discussion will reflect on themes of Black transnationalism, migration, the effects of colonialism, Black and African feminisms, and the radical nature of imagining Black futures through Afrofuturism.

Along with scenes from the films, we will present and discuss other examples of film, music, television, and literature that explore a central question: How does media (re)define and (re)imagine Black identity, memory, and tradition through storytelling?

Light refreshments will be provided.
