LSU Science Cafe
"Afrofuturism in Architectural Research and Design"
Annicia Streete, assistant professor of architecture

Afrofuturism has been codified in creative and science disciplines, including theater, music, literature, fashion, and science fiction. The 2018 and 2022 installments of the movie Black Panther then brought afrofuturism to the big screen, showcasing an emerging afrofuturistic approach to architecture in almost every scene. This talk will explore what that means in research and design from perspectives of imagination, technology, the future, and liberation.

LSU faculty, with the generous support of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine’s Gulf Research Program (GRP), have led four semesters of community-based coursework focused on preparing the next generation of design, architecture and urban development professionals to identify, visualize, explore and propose interdisciplinary design solutions to critical issues. The work is culminating in an exhibition now on view in LSU's Boyce Gallery to educate the public in Louisiana.
