Afro-Futurist Manifesto: Blackness Reimagined Artist Panel – Part II 

Saturday, August 19 | 2 pm

Developed for the 2022 Venice Biennale, one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in the world, Afro-Futurist Manifesto brings together a stellar assemblage of African-American artists who construct a future forged in transatlantic links and Afrofuturism’s ideology to expand the notion of Blackness at the intersection of technology and liberation. Bedolla is only the second Black woman commissioned to curate a showing for the renowned exhibition.
