Black Quantum Futurism

Description:

Formed in 2014, Black Quantum Futurism is an interdisciplinary creative practice between Philadelphia-based artists Camae Ayewa and Rasheedah Phillips. Black Quantum Futurism  weaves quantum physics, Afrofuturism, and Afrodiasporic concepts of time, ritual, text, and sound to present innovative works and tools that offer practical ways to escape negative temporal loops, oppression vortexes, and the digital matrix. They have presented, exhibited, and performed at galleries and institutions internationally.
