From February 7-11, Portion will be featuring an exclusive collection, curated by DarkMythst, highlighting a range of artists exploring Afrofuturism and alternate realities through a Black cultural lens. What is Afrofuturism? Afrofuturism is a creative way of articulating the future through the lens of the African diaspora. It is a cultural movement that reimagines the history of the African diaspora through science fiction and technology with a hopeful future in which the community thrives as technically advanced. It is expressed via a wide range of practices, such as art, cinema, literature, music, fashion, etc. Imagine an alien race coming to earth, and telling the afropopulation that they felt empathy to the treatment they have faced for centuries, and decided to take them all out of Earth and to another world where everybody was treated equally, where racism and discrimination never existed. What might that world look like? Many couldn't tell you, because both history and current times have only shown hardship. The imagination of the futurist is an amazing blueprint of a wish to finally depart from the history and memories that have been experienced and inherited, and to finally be a part of an equally inclusive world. Afrofuturism encapsulates stories of mysticism, cosmology, technology, and fantasy. It can be represented by any form of creativity. Afrofuturists are a community of artists that plant the seed of hope, and seek to inspire others to use positive alternatives to creating a more meaningful and inclusive future. It's a way of thinking and drawing up an illusion that has not been a reality for the African and diaspora, and the goal is to break the stereotype and build on the cinematic vision of a promising future of inclusiveness and diversity. How does it play into NFTs? ...By creating a record in time in which Afrofuturists became part of the arts, science, technology, and modern day CryptoArt and blockchain technology. Being a part of the NFT space already means that creators are far ahead. By being here early, Afrofuturists bring something valuable to the space - Creativity, culture, science fiction, and imagination from their perspective.
