Speaking to Me is a Privilege

The Mundane Afrofuturist Manifesto is an hour­long film that proposes a new theory of the black aesthetic of the 21st century. Through a close reading of works by four Southern California artists engaged with problems of representation, the episode walks through their artistic and creative processes and inspirations. The episode features in­-depth interviews with writer Tisa Bryant, musician/producer Delroy Edwards, curator Erin Christovale, and video artist Nicole Miller. Created in collaboration with the award­ winning creative studio Ways and Means and premiering on KCET’s Artbound, the hour­long special examines the tension between conventional channels of media distribution and the Black imagination.
