Black Quantum Futurism is a Philadelphia based interdisciplinary creative practice between musician, poet and activist Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother) and artist, author and activist Rasheedah Philips (The AfroFuturist Affair). The duo explores the intersections of imagination, fiction, creative media, DIY-aesthetics, and activism through the lens of Afrofuturist thought, to reorient perceptions of the past and present.
For the performance, Camae Ayewa and Rasheedah Philips combine spoken word poetry and live music to "activate portals toward alternative temporalities" . Not to be missed!
