ABSTRACT
Contemporary Afrofuturism is a product of the convergence of Afrocentric meta-theory and African agency, social media technology, and the changing world order. This phenomenon is emerging at a moment in history when the world order has been slowly shifting from a unipolar to multipolar framework that accelerated since the 2008 economic collapse and a series of political and economic shocks leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic and the beginning of the Eurasian land war between Russia and Ukraine. The accelerating pace of change and the accompanying existential impact of the social change is interacting with the changing geopolitical landscape to produce an ever-growing array of art and aesthetics reflecting the emerging world order.
