Alongside @mochaarts we are ringing in the opening of the Community Futures School this Saturday! It may be a bit cliche to say, but children are, quite literally, the future. And there is nothing more heartening for us than empowering BIPOC youth and their families to imagine new, and better futures.
These kids are really something else! This poster here was made by the talented CFS youth Alysse Brown!
CFS is an arts and technology program under MOCHA that is committed to increasing every child’s access to safe and engaging arts and future-focused education.
We’ll be leading a game of Afro-Rithms from the future to help kick off this opening exhibition We, quite literally, couldn’t be more excited.
Join us here in Oakland or check out the live stream. Register through the link in our bio!
This is an imagined object/inspiration from the future of children designed edible parks contributed by one of our game participants and rendered by the extraordinary Graphic artist and Professor Stacey Robinson of the Black Kirby dynamic comix duo! Stacey intends to add another layer of color to this but gotta say we were all stunned to see him do this in an hour! Thanks to having Afro-Rithms From The Future at the Humanities Institute@ SUNY, Buffalo!

Afro-Rithms From The Future is definitely in play as we prepare for our Afro-Rithms Live Beta launch in early 2021! We are posting the games we have played this year to celebrate the fantastic network of folx we have weaved together and met! Contact us at or @avilonny on Twitter where we are actively connecting with organizations big and small and schools and colleges to democratize the future where Black, Queer, Indigenous and People of Color matter. Let’s have fun ending white supremacy while advancing liberation informed by science!
