GREENSBORO, NC — AUG 2024 — The African American Atelier is excited to announce "Afrofuturism Unveiled," an inspiring and visionary art exhibition that will run from August 2nd to August 27th, 2024, at the Greensboro Cultural Center. This exhibition invites artists and the community to engage with the transformative themes of imagination, liberation, mysticism, and technology within the African-American experience.

​

Exhibition Overview:

"Afrofuturism Unveiled" explores Afrofuturism as both a cultural aesthetic and a practice of "jitambue" — knowing oneself. This exhibition seeks to illuminate how imagination, liberation, mysticism, and technology intersect and inform the African-American narrative. Through this lens, artists will present work that reimagines and reconstructs the temporal boundaries of their experiences, weaving together threads from past, present, and future.

Key Themes of the Exhibition:

• Imagination: Artworks that challenge conventional boundaries and explore new realms and possibilities through an Afrofuturist perspective.

• Liberation: Pieces that reflect the ongoing struggles and triumphs of the African-American community in their journey towards freedom and self-determination.

• Mysticism: Works that delve into spiritual and mystical aspects of Afrofuturism, highlighting the connection between the seen and unseen.

• Technology: Creations that incorporate elements of technology, envisioning futuristic scenarios where African-American culture and technological advancement merge.
