From ancient folklore to science fiction, Afrofuturist art weaves together diverse and contrasting themes — inviting us to envision a fantastical future while drawing on the lessons of history. Lina Iris Viktor’s work, Eleventh, transforms the artist’s self-portrait photograph into an opulent and mesmerizing collage of African and futuristic themes, brought to life in 24-karat gold. ✨ “In the Black Fantastic” exhibition brings together 11 visionary contemporary artists from the African diaspora, and is currently on view at @hayward.gallery and on the #BloombergConnects app. 🔗 in bio. ---- #Afrofuturist #AfrofuturistArt #Afrofuturism #LinaIrisViktor #AfricanArt #ModernArt #24KGold #Collage #CollageArt #MixedMedia #Exhibition #FinalWeeks #Folklore #Mythology #ScienceFiction #BlackArt #HaywardGallery #InTheBlackFantastic 🖼️: Eleventh (2018) by Lina Iris Viktor.
