The Smithsonian Afrofuturism Series Presents: Claiming Space A Symposium on Black Futures – Past, Present, and Potential

Claiming Space: The communities and individuals who build Afrofuturism up, as well as those that draw from it, work together to claim and reclaim space—in the stories we tell of the past and in the visions we imagine of the future. This Claiming Space Symposium examines the ever-expanding reach of Afrofuturist thought across oceans, into land reclamations, up to the stars, through cyberspace, and inward as Black visionaries look to the infinite space within. with Claudia Alick

By calling up these values, we are able to prioritize and address the complex and interconnected issues that impact marginalized communities and work towards creating meaningful and lasting change.
