With the highly anticipated release of Black Panther as part of the Marvel feature film enterprise, audiences will get a glimpse of an Afro-futurist utopia unfettered by histories of colonialism. As the center of the Black Panther world, how does the way the country of Wakanda has been brought to screen dialogue with visions of returning sovereignty to Hawai‘i? Our panel of artists and political scientists will delve into how Afro-futurism, concepts of ea, and the arts compel us to build solidarity and combine to create new images of our collective futures.
