Volume 2 • Issue 1 • 2023 • Afrofuturism
In the wake of Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the new FX series of Octavia Butler's Kindred, and the Royal Shakespeare Company's 2022 Much Ado About Nothing, this issue interrogates the beauty and performativity of Afrofuturism in Black theatre history, performance, dramatic literature, digital humanities, artistic leadership, pedagogy and praxis. We have assembled a group of diverse mediations on Afrofuturistic expressivity within dramatic literature from authors around the world.
