About this Event
Haven’t been to church in a while because the hallowed grounds burns your moon kissed skin? Missing the beat of the drums, the thrill of the tambourine and the harmony of haunted praise but service is much too early for your undead heart?
Welcome to an IH and Punk Black production of Infinity Hour: Church of Punk!
Join us at The AllWays Lounge & Cabaret on Saint Claude Avenue in New Orleans, LA, USA and commune with our congealed congregation of the Perpetual Darkness for a delectable service of live music, exalted sanguine revelry... and, of course humans are certainly welcomed in the loving embrace of The Night.
This event is bringing the gothic and the gospel together for the religious traumatized, the crushed velvet lovers, and head banging revenant. Featuring Burlesque, a Live Band, and special guests from The Vampyre Cabaret for a world building event sure to wake the dead.

ABOUT AFROFUTURISM
The term "afrofuturism" was coined by Mark Dery in his 1994 essay, "Black to the Future." In the piece, the term is defined as "speculative fiction that treats African American themes and addresses African American concerns in the context of twentieth century technoculture—and, more generally, African American signification that appropriates images of technology and a prosthetically enhanced future."
It's important to note that, although Dery's definition provided an official name for the work that Black writers and artists were doing within this genre, it does not define the full scope of where afrofuturism has been and where it's going.
A more targeted and expansive definition by multi-hyphenated author Ytasha Womack best describes what afrofuturism is and how it functions.
"Afrofuturism is a way of looking at the future and alternate realities through a Black cultural lens. Black cultural lens means the people of the African continent in addition to the Diaspora, the Americas, Europe, etc. It is an artistic aesthetic, but also a kind of method of self-liberation or self-healing.
It can be part of critical race theory and in other respects its an epistemology as well. It intersects the imagination, technology, Black culture, liberation, and mysticism. An artistic aesthetic it bridges literature, music, visual arts, film, and dance. As a mode of self-healing and self-liberation, it's the use of imagination that is most significant because it helps people to transform their circumstances. Imagining oneself in the future creates agency and it's significant because historically people of African descent were not always incorporated into many of the storylines about the future."

At its core, Afrofuturism opens up the space for us to create without fear and explore who we can be. So feel free to either elevate an old act, tell a new story, reinvent your art form or your soul.
