African Diaspora to Afrofuturism

The Truth of Freedom: African Diaspora to Afrofuturism is a visual journey that reflects on the history of the African Diaspora and its varied celebrations of liberation across the world while connecting them with visions of the future and the continued advancements of liberty and freedom for African descendants around the globe. Continuing in the legacy of the ancestors who engaged in resistance by imagining worlds of equality and justice for Black people, local Black artists take as our point of departure, Afrofuturism, with its fusion of history, science fiction, and fantasy, to explore and expound new visions of the forthcoming of Black people. These elements of Afrofuturism symbolize areas where Black representation and histories have been nearly absent and areas that embody the cultural fabric and storytelling of society.

This year will mark the third iteration of Truth of Freedom, as it continues to commemorate Juneteenth in ever-expanding reimaginations of this celebratory and subversive exhibition.
