Afrofuturism and Ancient Egypt

Presented by Prof. Rita Lucarelli

Weds 25 March, 18:30

Franschhoek Theatre, 15 Akademie Street

What happens when the deep past meets the distant future? Join us for an evocative lecture exploring how Afrofuturism reclaims Ancient Egypt to imagine bold, new worlds. From the cosmic jazz of Sun Ra - the 'extraterrestrial traveler from Saturn' - to experimental modern art, Prof. Rita Lucarelli examines how ancient religion and symbolism are being reinvented through science fiction and performance. Discover how the mystery of the Nile is used today as a powerful tool for creativity, resistance, and 'future-making' that challenges our traditional views of history.
