About this Event
On Sunday, October 4, AfroFuturist Weekend 11 concludes at Blanc Gallery in Bronzeville with a collaborative presentation featuring Elastic Arts’ critically acclaimed AfriClassical Futures series. (Outdoors, weather permitting).
The program will feature Autophysiopsychic Millennium’s “White Flowers,” a string ensemble that emerged from the organization’s theatrical production “Something Else in the Garden.” That performance was inspired by Dr. Yusef Lateef’s novella, “Night in the Garden of Love,” connecting the festival’s exploration of “The Cipher” to Lateef’s expansive legacy as a musician, composer, educator, and visionary thinker.
Producer, flutist & multiinstrumentalist BSA Gold will begin the afternoon with a solo performance.
All attendees are encouraged to spend time experiencing the Blanc Gallery’s exhibits, which intersect with AfroFuturist Weekend’s mission to envision radically positive and liberated futures for Black people, especially the Radical Oscar Brown Jr. centennial exhibit.
