Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Hayward Gallery,
London, this is an expressive exploration of Black popular culture
at its most wildly imaginative, artistically ambitious and
politically urgent. In the Black Fantastic assembles art and
imagery from across the African diaspora that embraces ideas of the
mythic and the speculative. Neither Afrofuturism nor Magic Realism,
but inhabiting its own universe, In the Black Fantastic brings to
life a cultural movement that conjures otherworldly visions out of
the everyday Black experience - and beyond - looking at how
speculative fictions in Black art and culture are boldly
reimagining perspectives on race, gender, identity and the body in
the 21st century. Transcending time, space and genre to span art,
design, fashion architecture, film, literature and popular culture
from African myth to future fantasies and beyond, this vital,
timely and compelling publication is an expressive exploration of
Black popular culture at its most wildly imaginative, artistically
ambitious and politically urgent.
