DETROIT - Michimich -- Multiple award-winning black poets and writers will convene for a reading online on the topic of Afrofuturism. A Big BAM Theory of Creation: Afrofuturism and the Black Arts Movement will take place Saturday, December 3 at 2 p.m. Pacific Time. The reading will feature cultural historian, science communicator, and performance poet Darrell Stover.

Afrofuturism has been described as intersectional, non-linear, fluid, and a blending of the future, the past, and the present to create a mystical union of Blackness itself. It ventures into the territory of dimensional and interdimensional realities existing within and around what we assume to be reality. The December program is the reading of creative works with an Afrofuturist immersion. The participants represent cultural and literary ambassadors discussing their work and what it means to be an Afrofuturist as well as how the Black Speculative Arts are showcased throughout the African Diaspora.
