An engaging introduction to contemporary Black American collage
brings together art by fifty artists that reflects the breadth and
complexity of Black identity  Building on a technique that
has roots in European and American traditions, Black artists have
turned to collage as a way to convey how the intersecting facets of
their lives combine to make whole individuals. Artists have
assembled pieces of paper, fabrics, and other, often salvaged,
materials to create unified compositions that express the endless
possibilities of Black-constructed narratives despite the
fragmentation of our times. Â As artist Deborah Roberts
asserts, “With collage, I can create a more expansive and
inclusive view of the Black cultural experience.”  More
than 50 artists are represented in the book’s 140 color images,
with some creating original artworks for this project. Featured
artists include such well-known figures as Mark Bradford, Lauren
Halsey, Kerry James Marshall, Wangechi Mutu, Howardena Pindell,
Tschabalala Self, Lorna Simpson, Mickalene Thomas, and Kara Walker.
In addition to scholarly essays, the publication contains short
biographies of each artist written by Fisk University students.

The ideas and practices related to afrofuturism have existed for
most of the 20th century, especially in the north American African
diaspora community. After Mark Dery coined the word "afrofuturism"
in 1993, Alondra Nelson as a member of an online forum, along with
other participants, began to explore the initial terrain and
intellectual underpinnings of the concept noting that "AfroFuturism
has emerged as a term of convenience to describe analysis,
criticism and cultural production that addresses the intersections
between race and technology." Afrofuturism 2.0: The Rise of
Astroblackness represents a transition from previous ideas related
to afrofuturism that were formed in the late 20th century around
issues of the digital divide, music and literature. Afrofuturism
2.0 expands and broadens the discussion around the concept to
include religion, architecture, communications, visual art,
philosophy and reflects its current growth as an emerging global
Pan African creative phenomenon.
