Dark Matters Site Rec: AfroCyberPunk

LINK: AfroCyberPunk

You can just tell we’d heart it from the name. AfroCyberPunk is a futurism blog by Jonathan Dotse out of Accra, Ghana. Though his posts are infrequent, Dotse’s focus considers genre creations of Blackness as a global whole: music, film, fiction, comics, art from African or of the diaspora. This world soul approach to Afrofuturism conveys Dotse’s singular vision of inclusivity and celebration. Bookmark worthy.
