Black Futures (Hardcover)

$10.00

by Kimberly Drew, Jenna Wortham

Description

Kimberly Drew and Jenna Wortham have brought together this collection of work--images, photos, essays, memes, dialogues, recipes, tweets, poetry, and more--to tell the story of the radical, imaginative, provocative, and gorgeous world that Black creators are bringing forth today. The book presents a succession of startling and beautiful pieces that generate an entrancing rhythm: Readers will go from conversations with activists and academics to memes and Instagram posts, from powerful essays to dazzling paintings and insightful infographics.
.
In answering the question of what it means to be Black and alive, Black Futures opens a prismatic vision of possibility for every reader.
