Discourse program
The term Afro-Futurism has slowly become part of a mainstream cultural vocabulary. A combination of science fiction, technology, cultural heritage and post-colonial theory, we are now encountering an array of futurist thought and movements finding origins across continents. In this conversation, moderated by COSMOS’ own Julian Brimmers, artists Ale Hop (Peru), Rana Ghose (India) and Nyokabi Kariũki (Kenya) will, together with Dan Hassler-Forest, Professor of Media and Culture Studies at the Utrecht University, explore these diverse futurisms and what they mean within the global music scene.
Moderated by COSMOS with guest speakers Ale Hop, Prof. Dan Hassler-Forest, Rana Ghose and Nyokabi Kariũki.
