Description
AFROFuturism
Literature, multimedia. and graphic arts are the primary catalyst for all social revolutions. This is the fuse that ignites the explosion of cultural change. Founded in the wake of, and in response to, racial controversies in the science fiction and fantasy genre fields, The Diverse Writers and Artists of Speculative Fiction is comprised of not just writers, artists, poets, screenwriters, filmmakers, and publishers seeking to promote themselves; but the group seeks to spread the word about persons of color active in the current speculative fiction genre. DWASF does this through participating on panels and holding meet-and-greets at cons, teaching at workshops, and participating as a resource for other creatives. In this first Journal, contributors have offered their thoughts--radical, controversial, impractical, or plain common sense--via the creative medium. You may love it, hate it, or be puzzled. Yet, there is deep thinking embedded in all the stories, poems, conversations, and art. This Journal seeks to enlighten, entertain and education as well as empower anyone with a mind and intellective willing to be opened. Take an epic journey with us into the realms of speculative fiction with an African flavor. The Mother Continent has a lot to reveal to its children spread around the planet.
We are all African!
