The show will run until December 3rd, 2021.
Ascension of Black Stillness is a multimedia exhibition with the common thread of Afrofuturism. 鈥淎frofuturism, (a genre of multimedia arts that merges the arts and sciences through science fiction, fantasy) looks at speculating Black futures through examining past and present cultural phenomena.鈥�, said Stacey Robinson, Graphic Design Professor and Guest Curator of the exhibition.
鈥淭his exhibition will consist of 10 multimedia artist鈥檚 collections that look at Afrofuturist philosophy through a multi-lens discipline. As an exhibition the works can tell a variety of stories that imagine parallel universes, alternate realities, and what if scenarios that stem specifically through the idea of still photography and its alterations. With media consisting of holograms, motion graphics, animation, and print images, the exhibition will highlight the various conversations Black artists are having about the need for agency in actualizing our own liberated futures.鈥�, said Stacey Robinson.
