One art movement has become a household name in a way that few recent art movements can match. This is Afrofuturism. From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, installing an Afrofuturist period room to the blockbuster movie Black Panther and its sequel to an upcoming survey of the movement at the National Museum of African American history and culture, Afrofuturism is being canonized in art and beyond. It's an extraordinarily rich tradition, bringing together influences from experimental jazz and Detroit techno sci-fi and fantasy, art and technology. With Black History Month here, we decided to dig into Afrofuturist art history with Ytasha Womack. Womack is the author of Afrofuturism, The World of Black Sci-fi and Fantasy Culture. She's also an artist herself, actively working in the tradition now. So how can you define the afro futurist aesthetic? What are some of its touchstones? And why has there been such a surge of excitement around Afrofuturism in the recent past? Artnet News National Art Critic, Ben Davis, sits down with Womack to find out.

Den mytomspunna musikern och visionären Sun Ra skapade sitt eget universum där han förenade avantgardistisk jazz med kosmisk filosofi, egyptisk mytologi, svart frihetskamp och spektakulära kläder. Sun Ra var pianist, kompositör och bandledare med egen jazzorkester, The Sun Ra Arkestra. Under fyra decennier från tidigt 50-tal fram till 1993, då Sun Ra lämnade jorden lyckades han både förtjusa och förvirra folk med sina filosofiska tankar, sin stil och sin musik som snabbt kunde växla från svängiga melodier till atonalt kaos. San Ra skapade ett helt eget universum och hans musik, tankar och afrofuturistiska stil med böljande mantlar i guld och silver, egyptiska dräkter och rymdinspirerade huvudbonader har influerat en hel del av dagens artister. När till exempel Solange yngre syster till Beyoncé släppte sitt hyllade album When I Get Home tidigare i år nämnde hon Sun Ra som en av sina stora inspirationskällor. Stilmässigt påminde Sun Ra om en faraon från en planet långt, långt bort från vår, men så påstod han sig också komma från Saturnus. Sun Ra menade att han hade sänts hit till jorden för att sprida sitt budskap till människorna. Och det var med hjälp av musik och stil som Sun Ra förde fram sitt budskap ett budskap som först och främst riktade sig till USA:s svarta befolkning. För dem, och alla andra som ville lyssna, försökte Sun Ra skapa hopp om en bättre värld och framtid, bortom rasism, våld och förtryck. I programmet medverkar musikern Marshall Allen som har spelat i The Sun Ra Arkestra sedan 1950-talet och idag är dess ledare; journalisten, dj:n och musikkuratorn Elena Wolay; afrofuturisten och författaren Ytasha Womack; samt författaren och forskaren Thomas Stanley. Programmet är gjort av Erik Sjölin (erik.sjolin@filt.se)
