The idea for my project is to illustratrate how books influence our visualization of the future. I am a verbal thinker, visualization is always difficult for me. Taking an art class was a daring step for me to nudge myself out of my comfort zone. When I found out that our project was supposed to be influenced by the afrofuturism genre, no images came to mind, but recollections of all the books and articles I read: Kindred and Dawn by Octavia E. Butler, How Long 'til Black Future Month by N.K. Jemisin, Underground Airlines by Ben H. Winters; articles about building a futuristic Akon City in Senegal.

I have a few Ghana batik wall hangings, hausa baskets and a tribal mask at home. I want to use the pictures of these items either to create patterns to use in my project or the backgrounds. In the foreground, books will serve as a starting point in discovering Afrofuturism.
