Carnegie Hall Announces Complete Afrofuturism Festival Schedule for February-March 2022  Image

This February and March, Carnegie Hall will present Afrofuturism, a citywide festival exploring the thriving aesthetic and cultural movement that looks to the future through a Black cultural lens, intersecting music, visual art, literature, politics, science fiction, and technology.

Featuring more than 80 events, the festival kicks off at Carnegie Hall with a performance by Flying Lotus on February 12 and includes musical programming as well as talks, performances, exhibitions, and online offerings presented by 70+ leading cultural and academic institutions across New York City and beyond.

At Carnegie Hall, festival concerts by celebrated artists in February and March explore Afrofuturism's boundless sonic essence through jazz, funk, R&B, Afrobeat, hip-hop, electronic music, and more. In addition, education and social impact programming and special events created by Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute invite New Yorkers of all ages to consider the infinite possibilities of Afrofuturism.

Festival partner events include performance art celebrating trans and gender non-conforming artists at the MCC Theater; an online discussion between award-winning authors Samuel R. Delany and Namwali Serpell; an immersive listening experience at National Sawdust that offers access to unreleased tracks and the creative process of musical giant, the late Lee "Scratch" Perry; a Black Feminist Futures series that highlights the powerful and long-standing relationship between Afrofuturism and Black feminism presented by the Schomburg Center; and the art exhibit, eMeLe-K: El futuro es ya / The future is now, inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech in the context of today, the future, at Tamayo Gallery (LATEA) and LES Gallery.

To create this imaginative festival, Carnegie Hall's programming team consulted with prominent experts, including writer and academic Alondra Nelson and Mark Dery, the cultural critic who first coined the term "Afrofuturism" in his landmark 1993 essay, "Black to the Future." The Hall further brought together an Afrofuturism Curatorial Council, made up of five of the most knowledgeable authorities in the Afrofuturism field-Reynaldo Anderson, King James Britt, Louis Chude-Sokei, Sheree Renée Thomas, and Ytasha L. Womack-to help shape the festival's line-up of events.

"In developing this festival over the past several years, it's been exciting to see how Afrofuturism embraces such a diverse array of art forms and the intrinsic role it plays in pop culture," said Clive Gillinson, Carnegie Hall's Executive and Artistic Director. "With the incredibly valuable guidance of our Afrofuturism Curatorial Council and in collaboration with our festival partners, we look forward to taking audiences on a vivid journey into this forward-looking theme. It offers the opportunity to experience different genres of music and to expand upon the Hall's explorations of Black culture undertaken in a number of our previous festivals which have paid tribute to the African American cultural legacy, including programming that examined music and art created in the time of slavery and the Great Migration and during the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. With Afrofuturism, we invite people to join us on a journey of discovery, to be inspired, and to imagine new and empowering visions of the future."

"Audiences should look forward to being transformed," said Ytasha L. Womack in a video introducing the festival. "They should look forward to feeling both a deeper sense of self and a sense of being connected to a larger universe."

The festival is "going to be a constellation of ideas and concepts, not only for music, but art, education, philosophy, and literature," said Louis Chude-Sokei. "Afrofuturism is still undefined, meaning it's still quite energetic and quite powerful."

More than 70 leading cultural institutions from across New York City and beyond extend the scope of the festival with a diverse array of live and online events, including exhibitions, performances, talks, and more. The multidisciplinary public programming explores African and African diasporic philosophies, speculative fiction, mythology, comics, and more. A range of online offerings also includes film screenings, exhibitions, and talks with leading thinkers and creatives in this multitiered experience.


HIGHLIGHTS OF AFROFUTURISM FESTIVAL CONCERTS AT Carnegie Hall


At Carnegie Hall, the Afrofuturism festival concerts showcase renowned artists in jazz, electronic music, dub, house, Afro-beat, and more-performing one-night only shows, unique artistic collaborations, and double bills in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage and Zankel Hall.

The festival kicks off with the Carnegie Hall debut of Flying Lotus on Saturday, February 12 at 8:00 p.m. The Grammy Award-winning producer, composer, rapper, filmmaker, and visionary founder of the independent record label Brainfeeder exists as a musical world unto himself. Flying Lotus synthesizes a vast range of influences-musical and otherwise-into an expansive, yet unmistakable sound that makes him one of today's foremost artists. The "heir apparent to a near-celestial Afrofuturist force" (The Face) presents his transportive electro-acoustic musical blend in this special one-night-only performance (Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage)

The Afrofuturism festival continues at Carnegie Hall with the Sun Ra Arkestra with special guests Kelsey Lu and Moor Mother on Thursday, February 17 at 9:00 p.m. Under the longtime leadership of founding saxophonist Marshall Allen, the Sun Ra Arkestra is as vital and cheekily unpredictable as ever. Blending jazz and blues with electronic and extraterrestrial influences, these true pioneers of Afrofuturism carry on the inimitable vision and spirit of their late, enigmatic founder-composer, pianist, bandleader, poet, and cosmic philosopher Sun Ra. Joining the Arkestra for this festival performance are two equally irrepressible guest artists who are carrying on Sun Ra's torch, each of them a prolific collaborator across numerous perceived genre boundaries: cellist, composer, and polymuse Kelsey Lu and poet, composer, and Black Quantum futurist Moor Mother. (Zankel Hall)

The next week features Nicole Mitchell and Angel Bat Dawid on Thursday, February 24 at 7:30 p.m. For this evening's double bill, innovative flutist and composer Nicole Mitchell-praised for making music that is "exciting, invigorating, and keeps you on the edge of your seat" (New York Amsterdam News)-brings her Black Earth Ensemble to perform Xenogenesis Suite, inspired by renowned Afrofuturist author Octavia E. Butler. The former first woman president of Chicago's Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, Mitchell celebrates endless possibility by creating what she calls "visionary worlds through music that bridge the familiar with the unknown." Angel Bat Dawid-the "blazingly original" Chicago-based clarinetist and bandleader who "captures the unbridled sound of obstacles overcome, history revered, and a future imagined" (Pitchfork)-joins forces with LuFuki and Dr. Adam Zanolini to form Autophysiopsychic Millennium, exploring the performance methodology of instrumentalist and composer Dr. Yusef Lateef in what they describe as an Afrofuturist Participatory Sonic Convocation. (Zankel Hall)

The festival continues in March with a double bill featuring Chimurenga Renaissance and Fatoumata Diawara on Friday, March 4 at 9:30 p.m. Comprised of Tendai "Baba" Maraire and guitarist Hussein Kalonji, Chimurenga Renaissance brilliantly blends experimental hip-hop with traditional African music to create a captivating and consistently surprising "trans-Atlantic mélange" (NPR) that speaks to a range of postmodern and politically conscious sensibilities. Also featured on this evening's program is Grammy Award-nominated singer, songwriter, and actress Fatoumata Diawara-one of the most relevant female voices of the new generation of African artists-who covers a gamut of styles from blues, funk, and rock to syncopated Afro-pop, always honoring her past, but with a sound and message that confidently looks to the future. (Zankel Hall)

Carl Craig Synthesizer Ensemble takes the stage on Saturday, March 19 at 10:00 p.m. A creative visionary, Grammy Award-nominated composer, world-class DJ, and founder of seminal record label Planet E Communications, Carl Craig is an elder statesman in the world of electronic music production and performance-a true legend of the genre. The common thread that runs through Craig's broad musical canon is a resounding fascination with futurism, as embodied by the Synthesizer Ensemble in which he imbues a flexible and collaborative human touch into the more synth-driven, pulsing traits of techno. (Zankel Hall)

Grammy Award-nominated trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Theo Croker closes out the festival concerts at Carnegie Hall on Saturday, March 26 at 9:00 p.m. with a performance that blends post-bop, funk, and electronic music in a sonic celebration of Afro-origin. As showcased in his new album BLK2LIFE || A FUTURE PAST, Croker explores the forgotten hero's journey toward self-actualization within the universal origins of Blackness. (Zankel Hall)

In addition to these festival performances, Carnegie Hall also presents The Black Angel of History: Myth-Science, Metamodernism, and the Metaverse, curated by Afrofuturism Curatorial Council member Reynaldo Anderson and the Black Speculative Arts Movement, throughout the festival.

"The Black Angel of History has returned in our hour of decision," said Reynaldo Anderson. "Black speculative artists from near, abroad and across the sea, inspired by its message have plumbed the souls of Black folk to share the vision."

This special exhibition in the Zankel Hall Gallery is an analysis of visual culture and technology within the genre of Afrofuturism. It functions as an avatar for the Afro-Speculative, examining the power that creativity wields in the struggle for various freedoms of expression and the politics of resistance. (February 3 - June 16, free to Zankel Hall concertgoers)

To accompany audience members' journey through Afrofuturism, a festival playlist featuring music by the festival artists-available on Apple Music and Spotify-explores the transportive beats of Flying Lotus, Sun Ra Arkestra's intergalactic jazz and blues, the mesmerizing sounds of the Carl Craig Synthesizer Ensemble, Fatoumata Diawara's powerful vocals, and many others.
