In the Black Fantastic
An exhibition of 11 contemporary artists from the African diaspora, who draw on science fiction, myth and Afrofuturism to question our knowledge of the world.
Myth, science fiction, spiritual traditions and the legacy of Afrofuturism are all sampled, reimagined and recontextualised in In the Black Fantastic.
Encompassing painting, photography, video, sculpture and mixed-media installations, the exhibition creates immersive aesthetic experiences that bring the viewer into a new environment somewhere between the real world and a multiplicity of imagined ones.
Plus, throughout July and August, take a dive into contemporary Black art and culture as Southbank Centre's summer season is inspired by and celebrates the themes from the exhibition. Featuring free events on the Riverside Terrace, including live music, talks, performance, comedy and visual arts. Find out more here.
