Current
The Age of Black Metal by Afrotectopia is a visionary exhibition that projects centuries into the future to explore the societal, cultural, and spiritual impact of Black Metal–a groundbreaking conceptual work at the intersection of Black futurism, art, and speculative technology. The exhibition builds upon the foundational ideas of the book Black Metal, authored by Ari Melenciano, Jordan Caldwell, Jeremy Kamal, and Kordae Jatafa Henry and published by Afrotectopia through a pioneering incubator with MIT Media Lab’s Space Exploration Initiative, NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program with support from the Ford Foundation.
The exhibition is curated by Afrotectopia Ari Melenciano and on view September 23 through December 14 in the George Segal Gallery and Kasser Theater Lobby.
