The Auburn Avenue Research Library will host Afrofuturistic Freedom Dreams, a community discussion facilitated by Associate Professor of Visual Studies at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Dr. John Jennings. Dr. Jennings will discuss the legacy of comic book illustrator, Jack Kirby, and the contemporary black artists who remix Kirby’s style with formal and conceptual influences, to explore themes like Afrofuturism, social justice, and racial identity. This event will also include an in-depth discussion on the upcoming exhibit, Hotlantis: An Afrofuturistic Pop Art Exhibition of Cosmic Proportions, at the Fulton County Southwest Arts Center (May 3 – July 19).
