In Atlantica, The Gilda Region, April Bey’s first solo museum exhibition in Los Angeles, the Bahamian-American interdisciplinary artist presents an immersive installation that taps into Black Americans’ historical embrace of space travel and extraterrestrial visioning—a cultural movement dating back to the late 1960s and later termed Afrofuturism. Through this Afrofuturist lens, Bey reflects on subjects such as queerness, feminism, and internet culture in vibrant tableaux that combine living plants, video, music, photography, and oversized mixed-media paintings and textiles. The artist positions herself as an alien from the planet Atlantica, while her mission on Earth is to observe and report as an undercover agent. This imagined world and her general interest in storytelling come from her father, who would tell her childhood tales using alien narratives to illustrate how Black people were othered in the United States and The Bahamas. In contrast to the racial oppression and exploitation rampant on Earth, Atlantica offers a beautiful diasporic world in which Black people thrive and flourish.

Rep owed. This is the very reason that I search for source references before I ride on any type of wave or movement or believe narratives. This is another reason why we need to vet the purveyors; not let them force or be mislead because of THAT. They really try to play us for stupid or insult our intelligence.In Atlantica, The Gilda Region, April Bey’s first solo museum exhibition in Los Angeles, the Bahamian-American interdisciplinary artist presents an immersive installation that taps into Black Americans’ historical embrace of space travel and extraterrestrial visioning—a cultural movement dating back to the late 1960s and later termed Afrofuturism.

Real leaders died as legends; the age of intellectualism is in their legacies; all of these new random people that come from out of nowhere are nothing but props or international globe trotting fake pundits . The smoke and mirrors continues ….

internet making up terms and lingos to sound phenomenally cultural when they’re not in the culture. Dr. Welsing, Khalid and Malcolm would never.
OP if you don’t edit and make that illiterate thread title make sense.
What are you abbreviating the word history for?? FYI - in another twist of irony, Note that OP is not Black American. Also likes to refer to black Americans as “Negroes” in 2021. Exhibit A of examples posted here:
Outside of Blacks and Latinos are Arabs the best dancers (Video)
Dumbass - who the f abbreviates the word “History” instead of shortening “African -American” to AA.
