    Racial Elimination and Racial Reassignment

    On our season finale we examine “wildcards”, a term among futurists for seemingly improbable events that, were they to happen, would set the trajectory for the future. The episode features two of such possibilities: the elimination of race and of widespread racial reassignment.

    Rhythms of Race

    In this episode, we look at the future of Blackness from another lens - how it can be trapped in the rhythmic call and response with whiteness. Nigel Richard chats to Nigerian writer, Bayo Akomolafe. They explore these patterns of race-making and ways of reimagining Black experiences.   Bayo Akomolafe wears many hats- a post-humanist thinker, philosopher, psychologist, professor and poet. He's a renowned author of two books, “These Wilds Beyond Our Fences” and “We Tell Our Own Story”.   Subscribe to journey with us into the future of Blackness.    Hosted by: Nigel Richard Special thanks: Sebabatso Manoeli-Lesame, Laetitia Nolwazi Mbuli, Yasmeen Rubidge, Modupeola Oyebolu, Lindokuhle Nkosi and Daryl Hannah    Produced by: The Good People at Between Productions Website: Moya Digital Magazine

    Young Africa

    "I find that listening to young people is like listening to the future,” Nigel says setting up our latest episode, which features the perspectives on the futures of race from young African people.   Our guests, who are students of the groundbreaking African Leadership Academy, are among the millions of people below the age of 25 who make up 60 per cent of Africa's population and make it the world's youngest continent. They offer glimpses at how young Africans make sense of race now and how they could shape its future, amid complex personal and national histories. The episode also features analyses of intra-continental migration in Africa from Mariama Mohamed Cisse of the International Organisation for Migration.   Journey with us across Africa.   Hosted by: Nigel Richard Special thanks: Sebabatso Manoeli-Lesame, Laetitia Nolwazi Mbuli, Yasmeen Rubidge, Modupeola Oyebolu, Lindokuhle Nkosi and Daryl Hannah    Produced by: The Good People at Between Productions Website: Moya Digital Magazine

    Pan-Blackness

    In the first episode of season 3, we feature a Zimbabwean new media artist based in London, Kumbirai Makumbe.  They use sculpture, digital audio-visual installation, video and images to interrogate the multi-dimensionality of "in-betweenness" and Blackness.   Our Host, Nigel Richard speaks to Makumbe about Black quantum futures, the multiplicity of Black experiences and how the digital sphere provides new territory on which to map the multiverse of Blackness, beyond the boundaries of Afrofuturism.    Subscribe to journey with us into the future of Blackness.    Hosted by: Nigel Richard Special thanks: Sebabatso Manoeli-Lesame, Laetitia Nolwazi Mbuli, Yasmeen Rubidge, Modupeola Oyebolu, Lindokuhle Nkosi and Daryl Hannah    Produced by: The Good People at Between Productions Website: Moya Digital Magazine More: Kumbirai Makumbe
