Afrofuturism: A Framework for Anti-Racism and Social Justice Panel at SXSW
02:30PM - 03:30PM CT

&eThis interactive session will feature a panel of designers, artists, time travelers, and futurists working to create a more just, equitable, and beautiful society. Attendees and panelists will leave with a participatory design framework to apply Afrofuturism to their work and lives.
&eCreating a space for Black voices allows for exploring new ideas and solutions to reduce inequality. In addition, it provides a platform for people to organize and take collective action to realize a more equitable future.
