The Mundane Afrofuturist Manifesto
The Mundane Afrofuturist Manifesto is an hourlong film that proposes a new theory of the black aesthetic of the 21st century. Through a close reading of works by four Southern California artists engaged with problems of representation, the episode walks through their artistic and creative processes and inspirations. The episode features in-depth interviews with writer Tisa Bryant, musician/producer Delroy Edwards, curator Erin Christovale, and video artist Nicole Miller. Created in collaboration with the award winning creative studio Ways and Means and premiering on KCET’s Artbound, the hourlong special examines the tension between conventional channels of media distribution and the Black imagination.
