Here, four top contemporary artists take you on a journey to their dreamed future. Video artist Bob Mũchiri Njenga transforms a boy from the slums into a messenger from the future. Photographer Samuel Fosso challenges us to reflect about a possible black pope. In his digital collages, Kadara Enyeasi transports personalities from classic African popular stories into the future in abstract spaces with geometrical forms. Finally, Osborne Macharia creates a society consisting of newly invented communities with their own futurist culture.
The imagination of all these artists is fed by a sense of frustration with the realities of today’s world. Afrofuturism offers them an opportunity to escape reality and to show an alternative future which can inspire new generations.
