Afrofuturism mixes sci-fi and social justice. Here’s how it works.

Vox explains afrofuturism, a scholarly and artistic movement that imagines the future through black people’s experiences.

The lesson Afrofuturism explores the concept of afrofuturism, connecting it to current video games, digital landscapes, and Black Panther. Students are then asked to work with a partner to create their own afro-futures.
