Have you listened to Episode 2 of "Tomorrow is the Problem"? 🎧 In "The Sea is Future," we sit down with visual artist Abdul Qaddim Haqq, arts activist DeForrest Brown Jr, and scholar Katherine McKittrick.
Follow along as we explore the inspired work of Detroit-based techno group Drexciya, whose innovative electronic sounds are matched only by their imaginative underwater world-building. The group's co-founders James Stinson and Gerald Donald envisioned a Drexciyan civilization deep beneath the waves where the children of pregnant African women who were thrown off of ships during the Middle Passage, survived and thrived.
Podcast host Donna Honarpisheh states, "What if those lives weren't lost? What if those casualties were actually survivors and those survivors built another world on the ocean floor. A world where elemental and technological power have converged to create a society like nothing we have seen or heard before."
Throughout the epsiode, we learn that the sea holds vital counternarratives, as evidenced by Drexciya’s nautical Afrofuturism and enduring appeal. 🌊
“Tomorrow is the Problem” is spearheaded by the museum’s @KnightFDN Art + Research Center and builds on ICA Miami’s robust program of digital initiatives.
