ABOUT

AfroFutures explores the role of cinema as a mode of storytelling for Black women, focused on the role of visual art in crafting disparate stories of Pan-African and African American women. Often marginalized and disenfranchised in visual and cinematic culture, this four-film series centers the stories and creative contributions of Black women as critical both to cultural and artistic global development. AfroFutures is presented in partnership with IU Cinema, the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center, the Center for Documentary Research and Practice, and The Media School. It is supported by the Black Philanthropy Circle and the Women's Philanthropy Leadership Council. Films in this series include:

  • February 4 | Mami Wata (C.J. ‘Fiery’ Obasi, 2023) + post-screening conversation with Prof. Maria E. Hamilton Abegunde (IU African American and African Diaspora Studies)
  • February 11 | All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt (Raven Jackson, 2023)
  • February 18 | Milisuthando (Milisuthando Bongela, 2023)
