Afro-Futirms: Envisioning the year 2070 and Beyond, curated by Kheven LaGrone, uses art to create a future for us to aspire to. It comes from an African American perspective. Runaway slave and heroine Harriet Tubman once said, "I freed a thousand slaves, I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves." More than 100 years later, writer James Baldwin praised Black revolutionaries for daring to break down barriers. He wrote in 1970 a letter to activist Angela Davis: " The enormous revolution in black consciousness which has occurred in your generation, my dear sister, means the beginning or the end of America. Some of us, white and Black, know how great a price has been paid to bring into existence a new consciousness, a new people, an unprecedented nation."

What will be the black consciousness in the year 2070, one hundred years after James Baldwin's letter?

All programs at the Library are free.

I love the inclusion of modern technology into the scene. It's wonderful.

Yes, this is exactly what I'm trying to do with secret project number one.

Yes, perfect. Good.

sudden flashbacks to Everworld

This is a thing that I've been dwelling on: the alternative development of aesthetics.

The short and sweet version is that we tend to associate certain patterns of clothing, decoration, and ritual with different kinds of behavior. It's a worldwide thing, and mostly unconscious. Men around the world wear European suits when they're doing business, unless they have a particular reason not to. Facial tattoos are for 'primitive' tribes and members of Western countercultures. Essentially the same furniture and building styles are seen throughout the wealthy parts of the world, and showing the different methods used by other cultures is meant to show how primitive they are.

This is all, of course, horseshit. Art, fashion, motifs—they're all just the window-dressing of a culture, and say little about how advanced or worthwhile it is. The prevalence of European styles in architecture and clothing isn't because they're just better than the rest of the world's styles, it's because European culturally brutalized the rest of the world and other cultures had to change to blend in.

What if things had turned out differently? What if some culture had stood as another example of what could be? What if more and more advanced technology had been molded into those alternate aesthetics? What might the world have seen?

(Slightly tangentally: This is why I'm okay with Zecora in MLP. Her aesthetic is indicative that there are cultures in that world that haven't been homogenized by imperialism. That seems like an excellent thing.)
