Labyrinth of hydroponic tiers, humming turbines, and warm hanging lanterns, the night market breathes life into the district.
You know a community takes sustainability seriously when the scaffolding outgrows the buildings.

AFROFUTURISM exhibition at the Oakland Museum of California / 2022 #afroFuturism #art #Oakland

No mater how famous or wealthy, this is what every Black person, and especially Black women and children, can expect from the healthcare system anywhere in the US.

A New Mexico jury awarded the family of Star Trek icon Nichelle Nichols $13 million in a wrongful death lawsuit against the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, New Mexico.

An expert informed jury ruled the hospital provided substandard care, failed to properly diagnose a treatable heart condition, and then discharging her hours before her death in 2022.

News media are already attempting to softpedal the story. Don't let them!

Moor Mother w/ Aquiles Navarro & Olof Melander + James McClure & Joao Guerra

OCCII, Thursday, June 4 at 08:30 PM GMT+2

SPACEIS THE PLACE:: “Moor Mother live at OCCII” Moor Mother w/ Aquiles Navarro & Olof Melander + James McClure / Joao Guerra Duo

Surprise gig! Moor Mother plays live at OCCII (Amsterdam), backed up by her musical soulmates Aquiles Navarro and Olof Melander! Expect the unexpected: new work, improv, and a selection from Moor Mother’s rich oeuvre.

Opening: James McClure & João Guerra

Vocalist and poet Camae Ayewa aka Moor Mother describes her music as “low fi/dark rap/blk girl blues/witch rap/coffee shop riot gurl songs/black ghost songs”. Her vast discography meanders adventurously between jazz, hip hop, and noise, with records under her own name, under the moniker 700 Bliss (with DJ Haram), or in collaborations with Irreversible Entanglements, the avant-metal band SUMAC, and many more.

“Moor Mother might be the most radical Afrofuturist artist to emerge for years” – The Wire

https://moormother.bandcamp.com/

Recently, Moor Mother has moved toward a more melodic and song-oriented approach, while still blending spoken word, experimental jazz, electronics, and radical poetry. Her album Jazz Codes (2023) draws from her poetry project and pays tribute to jazz visionaries such as Woody Shaw and Mary Lou Williams, combining layered vocals, atmospheric production, and free-form improvisation in collaboration with Swedish producer Olof Melander. On her latest full length album The Great Bailout (2024), she expands this cinematic and haunting sound into a powerful meditation on colonial history, displacement, and collective memory, moving between tenderness, noise, jazz abstraction, and poetic storytelling.

Internationally renowned trumpeter Aquiles Navarro — also her bandmate in Irreversible Entanglements and multi-faceted artist in his own right— contributed to Jazz Codes as well as Circuit City and Analog Fluids Of Sonic Black Holes, and later collaborated with Melander on the album Tangles (2024).

Hi!

I work on stuff between digital culture, hacking/engineering, ancestor work, and eco-social justice

Besides that, I like inline skating, making beats, and gardening

Currently I’m working on a project called Kite Node - which is a kite made from natural and reused materials used to hoist LoRa devices into the air

Can we pull this utopia dilemma together? Or will we add even more levels of complication? When we wrestle with Le Guin, take solace knowing that others have, too, and so we enter into the dialogue of building utopia, together with its responsibilities!

Colonialism is always genocide.

What's wrong with the last, say 700 years of European culture that we were so intimidated by Africa, Abya Yala and Turtle Island?

I think this is part of why #Wakanda and #Afrofuturism is suuuuuper threatening to so many people.

We should be threatened, because our entitlement mindset came from genocide. Still does.

We have to get over being triggered by #WakandaForever!

7.2: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Why Must Utopia Be Cruel?

In this episode, Ariel and Christina try to get to the bottom of why our fictional visions of utopia are so negative. They often involve mindless acquiescence to an authoritarian nanny state, the oppression and labor of an underclass, or both. It’s as if we can’t imagine a situation in which we all voluntarily treat each other (reasonably) decently and life can be good for everyone. We discuss the literary origins of utopia, how it has evolved (or not) as a concept, and Ariel gives a few examples of sci-fi futures that are about as close to her style of solarpunk utopia as can be. Ultimately, the topic of utopia raises more questions than answers.
