DESCRIPTION:What might the world look like if Pan African solidarity had gu
 ided the design of today’s technologies? Pan-Africanism was never simply
  a political movement—it was a method of imagination and design: a way t
 hrough which people of African descent across the world reimagined their r
 elationships\, technologies\, and futures. Likewise\, Afrofuturism transfo
 rms fiction\, art\, and technology into spaces for envisioning alternative
  worlds of care\, freedom\, and solidarity. For example\, we will explore 
 how people of African descent across the globe reimagined their identities
 \, cultural relationships\, technologies\, and futures.\n\nThis IAP activi
 ty invites MIT students to explore Pan-Africanism and Afrofuturism as desi
 gn frameworks for creativity and speculative imagination. Participants wil
 l experiment with storytelling\, digital tools\, and design thinking to de
 velop short\, conceptual projects\, prototypes\, or visual ideas that fuse
  historical imagination with future-oriented design. How are oral traditio
 ns\, folklore\, poetry\, and African cosmologies portrayed in artistic Afr
 o-futurist expressions? How can these systems of knowledge be reimagined\,
  say\, in game design\, fashion\, screenplays\, and other creative industr
 ies?\n\nNo prior experience required—just curiosity and openness to thin
 king across art\, science\, technology\, and culture.\n\nLead by Odinaka K
 ingsley Eze\, HASTS MIT and Sheila Bombaar\, UT Austin\n\n \n\nJanuary 14-
 16\, 10am-11am.\n\nPlease email Odinaka Kingsley Eze for more information
