You are here: Home // Artists, Interviews // Black To The Future Series: A Conversation with D. Scot Miller Portrait of AfroSurreal Manifesto Author D. Scot Miller. (Image courtesy of the artist.) Using a title borrowed from an essay by cultural critic Mark Dery, the Black To The Future Series is a sequence of interviews with artists whose practice has started to define a new generation of work in the realm of AfroFuturism and AfroSurrealism.

To kick off the series we spoke with Chicago-based artist and writer Krista Franklin who cites the AfroSurreal Manifesto as being a seminal work to many artists with AfroSurealist and/or AfroFuturist ideas as well as an important part of her own understanding of these terms and how her written and visual work fits into these movements. D. Tempestt Hazel: Do you consider yourself an AfroFuturist, an AfroSurrealist or both? D. In 2004, I truly had an artistic vision. TH: How do you define AfroFuturism and AfroSurrealism? I think you said it best here. Steinskog (Sixty Inches From Center » Black To The Future Series: A Conversation with D. Scot Miller)
