Afrofuture Society, founded in 2015 and is a membership-based platform for people of African descent in the visual arts community to connect to each other globally, across disciplines, and throughout the life cycles of our work. 

A placemaking model to guide the curation of Afrofuture Society as a site for arts professionals of African descent to re-member a Black future shaped by individual and intercommunal needs - one with a self-sustaining cultural ecology - without having to imbibe any particular Afrofuturistic aesthetic.
