:In 1993, Mark Dery defined “Afrofuturism” as addressing Blackness in twentieth-century technoculture. In 2017, Tina Campt asked, “What is the tense of a Black future?” This talk examines how these perspectives – identifiable in art, dance, and literature – point to a Black technoculture and to challenging the digital divide.
