About this Event

What will Black life look like in 2106?

Join us for the 2nd annual Afro Futures Fest 2106, a celebration of Black imagination, innovation, and the possibilities of our collective future!

Hosted by the Afro Futures Committee this immersive community festival invites us to envision, explore, and create new possibilities for Black futures through the intersections of art, technology, music, wellness, and ritual.

Inspired by the power of Afrofuturism, the festival brings together artists, creatives, community organizations, and visionaries to explore how our cultural legacies, present-day experiences, and boldest dreams can shape the worlds to come.

Attendees can look forward to a dynamic gathering centered on creative expression, cultural connection, technological imagination, and collective possibility. Whether you're an artist, innovator, community builder, or simply curious about what the future holds, Afro Futures Fest offers an opportunity to imagine what's possible when we dream and build together.
