Afrofuturism | A Carnegie Hall Podcast

Across five episodes, a series of experts and artists explore the multifaceted and multidisciplinary nature of Afrofuturism, its history and present-day practice, and topics that include Afrofuturism in sound, literature, art, and comics; Afrofuturism’s roots in the Black Arts Movement; the influence of the Caribbean diaspora on Afrofuturism’s development; and the relevance of Afrofuturism to society today.

This limited-series was created as part of Carnegie Hall’s Afrofuturism Festival (February–March 2022). The podcast features the festival’s five Curatorial Council members as hosts, and involves a new group of high-profile guests in every episode.

This podcast was inspired by Carnegie Hall’s 2022 citywide Afrofuturism Festival. To learn about the festival, view highlights, and explore additional resources, go to: https://www.carnegiehall.org/Events/Highlights/Afrofuturism.
