Black Panther was many of our first entries into the world of Afrofuturism. This one film has done wonders with its reach, opening up the masses to ideas of a futuristic black society, but there is so much more.

However, it seems as if most of the popular contributions have been done by Africans or African Americans but where does Jamaica fit in? Have we produced artists, scholars, musicians and activists whose work is concerned with ideas of black liberation, black empowerment, a society wholly formed by a black consciousness. i.e. Afrofuturistic ideology? Let’s have a look.
