Abstract

SHORT FILM & WORKSHOP

WITH PROF. DR. NATASHA A. KELLY & KOKUTEKELZA MUSEBENI

THE DOOR OF RETURN, a call & response between 2020 and 2440, is told from the perspective of eight Black women united by their tireless and unending struggle against racism.

Afrofuturism provides both a powerful framework and the tools necessary to confront the legacy of racism and imagine a transformative future. It inspires creativity and activism, challenges dominant narratives and creates new realities. Afrofuturism thus contributes to the broader struggle for justice and equality and enables Black identities and histories that have been marginalised or erased by colonialism and systemic racism to be reclaimed and reinvented beyond the dominant power structures.
