A collection of a significant group of artistic voices from the vast African diaspora that offers visual and philosophical thought rich in references to African history, mysticism, mythology, ecology, and fiction.

The visual and textual proposals presented in Black Ancient Futures challenge the dominant aesthetic representations of Africa through languages that propose and reimagine a past, a present, and a future for the Black artistic experience in a transcontinental reality. These are broad proposals that don't aim to illustrate a current or movement but embrace the creation of fantasies, science-fiction narratives, and discourses where criticism, satire, and irony are evident.

Artists featured include Baloji, April Bey, Jeannette Ehlers, Lungiswa Gqunta, Evan Ifekoya, Kiluanji Kia Henda, Nolan Oswald Dennis, Gabriel Massan, Jota Mombaça, Sandra Mujinga, and Tabita Rezaire.
