Gera Miles presents “A Discussion on the Current State of Afro-Surrealism in Movies &  Television.”

Surrealism, to some artists, was a way to balance the social and often mythic oppositions that we see occurring in own reality. Afrofuturism looks at how Black people can reclaim their joyous and anguished past to project themselves into a living future where they thrive instead of survive, while Afro-surrealism exists in the “future-past.” It challenges all oppositions forced on Afro people, whether they be “White/Black, European/African, and civilized/savage.” Between those extremes is the subjective NOW, where the awareness of this often hidden, strange reality can generate both fear and inspiration. Let’s talk about it!
