Astro Black (2007 - ongoing) is an episodic video cycle informed by Afrofuturism – a field of theory that examines the intersection of science fiction and social politics in Black Atlantic culture. Taking the cosmic musician Sun Ra as a point of departure, Astro Black seeks to draw out the conceptual implications of Sun Ra's intergalactic musical politics and the profound impact of his legacy. This sonic fiction activates a form of radical historiography where official accounts of the past are willfully reconfigured to open new and hopeful futures. The episodic history of Astro Black takes the form of an ever-expanding series of 4-channel video installations, the first of which was completed in 2010.
