Imagining De-Gentrified Futures Artist Interview — Black Quantum Futurism

Imagining De-gentrified Futures imagines socially-just futures for our cities and aims to rethink the assumed trajectory of urban development. Drawing inspiration from antigentrification resistance across the U.S., decolonization movements, and Afrofuturism, the exhibition gives permission to imagine, to dream, to unleash and explore ways in which socially-just futures can exist for city communities.

Black Quantum Futurism’s (BQF) installations weave quantum physics, Afrofuturism, and Black/Afrodiasporic cultural traditions of consciousness, time, and space. On display are community-created collages, videos and other ephemera that were part of Community Futurisms: Time & Memory in North Philly 002 - Black Space Agency, a 2018 event inspired by the legacy of the Fair Housing Act, Civil Rights and Black Liberation movements, and the space race in North Philadelphia during the 1960s.

Imagining De-gentrified Futures is curated by Betty Yu. The exhibition is on view online: https://apexart.org/yu.php
And at apexart: November 5 - December 19, Thursday - Saturday, 1pm - 6pm
