Apocalypse - it's not the end.  Now more than ever, we need imagination. Join Li Sumpter, an expert on myth-making and the apocalypse, as we journey into the possibilities of re-imagining now through the lens of Afrofuturism.https://www.mythmediastudios.com/IG: @mythmediastudios Li Sumpter is a mythologist and multidisciplinary artist based in Philly. She employs trauma-informed strategies of world-building, D.I.Y media and gameplay to cultivate eco-awareness and community action around the “art of survival”.  Li’s artistic practice and collaborative design initiatives address existential issues of diverse ecologies through speculative tools and sustainability projects that illuminate symbols and patterns of change.  Li teaches curatorial studies and Afrofuturism at Moore College of Art and Design, directs the Escape Artist Initiative, and is a core member of the North Philly Peace Park, Health Ecologies Lab at Slought/UPENN, and The Truth Telling Project and Common Field national collectives.

Li Sumpter: Afrofuturism Now

Charlie McGeehan

Sam Reed

Matt Kalasky speaks with artist Li Sumpter and educators Charlie McGeehan and Sam Reed about “Survival Guide for the Future” — an emergency preparedness, Afrofuturist and post-apocalyptic inspired curriculum conducted this spring at the U School High School in collaboration with The Galleries at Moore College of Art &amp; Design. Culminating in both a student-created zine and an exhibition at The Galleries at Moore (opening tomorrow, Friday, Aug. 3, 2018), this project gave students a platform to reflect on their current lives and imagine a vibrant teen-centric Philadelphia of the future.

Afrofuturism and disaster preparedness in the classroom? We talk with Li Sumpter, Charlie McGeehan and Sam Reed
