Mark Dery in his infamous interview with Samuel Delany coined the term “Afrofuturism” “Black to the Future.” He goes on to ask, “can a community whose past has been deliberately rubbed out, and whose energies have subsequently been consumed by the search for legible traces of its history, imagine possible futures?” The response to that question is a genre of speculative imaginings of Blackness in timeless arenas. Afrofuturism pertains to literature, music, film, and art which envisioned a future where Black people are visible and vibrant. This movement was largely scattered in the early twentieth century: a time where the genre of science fiction was just beginning to develop. However, by the turn of the century, the idea of “Afrofuturism” began to take form: it is an acknowledgement of the ways in which speculative imaginings from Black perspectives are manifested regardless of time and space and others are engaged to inhabit the journey.
