Africa is/in the Future 2024

Inleiding
Africa is/in the Future is about African contemporaneity. Started in 2016 at Cinéma Nova as a programme of African science fiction films, Africa is/in the Future has been a multidisciplinary festival since 2017.
This ninth edition of the festival will focus on the polysemic and contemporary notions of emergence and resilience. To what do artistic practices perceived as emerging echo? How can we characterize, ultimately to valorize, the resiliency specific to these practices and their actors? What emerges here—is it not a continuation of what has been gathered elsewhere, and vice versa? By reconsidering emergence as the capacity to share, we will also focus on resilience as the capacity to preserve.
Synopsis
If Afro-diasporic narratives, long marginalized, are now centralized, revered, and celebrated, it is through the emergence and resilience of those who carry them. This edition celebrates the advent, but above all, the redefinition of these two notions, both symbolic and artistic and identity-based.
As with every edition, the festival is open to all, but a more targeted invitation is sent to Black and Afro-descendant people from the continent and diasporas in Brussels. Moreover, we will continue, as in previous editions, to highlight the initiatives & artistic proposals of Black and Afro-descendant people/artists from the continent and diasporas.
