Liquid Architecture welcomes to Australia for the first time Black Quantum Futurism (BQF), the radical Philadelphia-based collaboration of musician and poet Camae Ayewa (AKA Moor Mother) and writer and activist Rasheedah Phillips.
As BQF Ayewa and Phillips mobilise the revolutionary potential of Afrofuturist thought to manipulate and reorient perceptions of the past and present in ways that make alternative futures imaginable. Their vision derives its facets, tenets, and urgency from science-fiction, futurist traditions, and Black/African cultural traditions of consciousness, time, and space. BQF’s work incorporates workshops, radical pedagogy, community activism, DIY art practice, writing and experimental music.

BQF is a new approach to living and experiencing reality by way of the manipulation of space-time in order to see into possible futures, and/or collapse space-time into a desired future in order to bring about that future’s reality
