I wrote this for my Black Atlantic art history class. If you don't know what the Black Atlantic is, it's a term used to reference the exchange of cultures across the middle passage while African people were being trafficked across. I was tasked to write a new artist statement for a work in the current exhibition "Project a Black Planet" at the Art Institute of Chicago and to connect it back to the Black Atlantic.
I decided to post this so more people can know about the work, my personal opinions of it, and to give a free educational resource. The last page will be a link to the museum it is in and links to the other sites where other people have discussed the work.
CONTENT WARNING for mentions of human trafficking and racial violence. None of it is explicit, and is only briefly referenced.

Tevun-Krus #119 - AfroFuturism 2
**February 4th, 2024 Tevun-Krus #119 - AfroFuturism 2** We first tackled AfroFuturism in 2020 for TK76. Now we're taking on the subgenre once again! AfroFuturism combines traditional African art, architecture, cultures and values (and that of the African diaspora) with the sheer wonder that is our shared science-fiction future! In more recent years, there's been a divide between "AfroFuturism" and "AfricanFuturism"-where the former term has increasingly been applied to works about or by the African diaspora and the latter restricted to the African continent. The Ooorah Mothership has taken a stance of inclusivity, so we welcome stories from both branches of this subgenre.Terminé
Let's Talk About...
I have been thinking a lot about sex. I concluded it's something like Disney meets BDSM meets education. Here I'm going to show you how sex in our culture is shaping who you are. I felt compelled to share this collection of my blog posts on Wattpad. Why? To raise awareness to what's going on. Keep reading. No matter if you're a boy or a girl, a child, teen or adult, there's something here for you: your sexuality is being impacted as we speak. Open your eyes and your heart. Take no bullshit. __________________________________ Note: Due to the nature of the subjects covered in this series, it contains graphic material.

I do
Angel Adams is my name, and having a carefree life is my goal. After graduating from college, I spent the rest of my life jumping from job to job. Making do with living in New York City, from paycheck to paycheck. I don't mind. Money is fake and we live on a floating rock anyways. For the past five years, nothing really stuck with me. The universe changes every millisecond and I go with the flow. Never been in a long-lasting relationship because I get bored. I almost did not graduate college in time because I wanted to do everything and nothing at once. All I want is to move to an island, relax and not work because I don't dream of labor. My parents hate my mentality, they love to call me lazy while my therapist says I am suppressing. I call it going with the flow and having fun. Who would've guessed that the only job that had my interest for the past year and a half, would lead to me marrying a millionaire? The universe works in weird ways but who am I to question, I just go with the flow. ---- Sequel to "Do you love me?" This can be read as a stand-alone but "Do you love me?" is a short story and it sorts of sets the plot. --- *The cover doesn't depict her, you imagine her as dark/light as you want.(she is black tho)Terminé
Helios's retelling
I'm not gonna change the cover yet lol Warning, this may contain vivid and graphic descriptions of blood, injuries, gore, torture, kidnapping, CA, child trafficking, racist characters, death, potential mentions of SA/CSA, and generally may be an extremely triggering thing to read, if you do choose to read my dumb stories. This is a heavier read, and if you need to stop or take a break after anything written, go ahead, and take care of your mental health :3 ~ Helios was a talented young man, strong, agile, and always helped around the village. Everything from herding José's sheep, or helping him with the harvest, to helping build new housing, or hunting with his dad. He's always been beloved around the village. It was a poor community, but everyone knew everyone, and they were happy. But one morning, while Helios was about to go explore the savannah with his friend, a truck pulled up to the village, a semi painted all black, and one man stepped out from the passenger side door... and in only a few hours, Helios's life changed from a helpful village boy, to a kidnapped child. This is his story, told by his own tongue.

" I tried to play nice, Evelina but you are so damn stubborn " He says. I'm not sure where this is leading but I feel so vulnerable in this position. My ass rests on his thighs and my legs drape down and as my feet hang up in the air he gently grabs a handful of my afro and lifts my head to his lips, so I'll hear what he has to say clearly. " Why is that ? " he asks " Because you make me sick " I bark out " Wrong answer " He lets go of my hair and my head collapses inches away from the ground I feel my bike shorts starting to come undone.
