In/habit is going to Comfort Station 2 evenings in a row this week-end. This Satruday night is a short film screening: "Roving into the Future" put together by our friend, Black Radical Imagination film co-curator, Amir George.

ROVERS is also about navigators of virtual spaces and time travellers.

The last remaining & accessible comfort station in Chicago turned public art space inspired ROVERS. This 2-day multimedia event is about movers, migrants and wanderers. It explores notions around migration, diaspora, in-between spaces, transit, transcience, cartography, itinerance, transnational movements, border politics, and nomadism.


Curator Amir George

Between other things, film curator Amir George has brought afrofuturism on screen through powerful travelling film programs under Black Radical Imagination and other platforms. We invited him to curate this screening with the intent of exploring time-roving and what it allows for our politics and imaginations. This program will encompass afrofuturist work as well as other film and video work addressing time and space explorations

Afrofuturism

Afrofuturism is a literary and cultural aesthetic that combines elements of science fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, Afrocentricity, and magic realism with non-Western cosmologies in order to critique not only the present-day dilemmas of people of color, but also to revise, interrogate, and re-examine the historical events of the pas." "Afrofuturism addresses themes and concerns of the African Diaspora through a technoculture and science fiction lens, encompassing a range of media and artists with a shared interest in envisioning black futures that stem from Afrodiasporic experiences." -Lisa Yaszek
