    Afrofuturism Explored! is an annual conference celebrating Black History Month that combines scholarly research and creative practice, inspired by what Mark Dery coined as “Afrofuturism,” which combines Black culture and science fiction, with a technology-based view of the future through the arts. This one-day conference invites discourse that brings together scholarly research and community interaction, focusing on academic studies and creative expression related to Afrofuturism and other parallel movements such as Latinofuturism, Gothic Futurism and First American Futurism.

    Participants should expect approximately 15 mins for presentations plus a Q&A session. In-person or Zoom presentations can be accommodated. Anyone interested in presenting can send an abstract with a maximum of 300 words for papers, panels or performances to Will Connor (willconnor@tamu.edu) by Jan. 24.
