The communities and individuals who build Afrofuturism up, as well as those that draw from it, work together to claim and reclaim space—in the stories we tell of the past and in the visions we imagine of the future. This Claiming Space Symposium examines the ever-expanding reach of Afrofuturist thought across oceans, into land reclamations, up to the stars, through cyberspace, and inward as Black visionaries look to the infinite space within.

The Claiming Space Symposium is part of the Smithsonian Afrofuturism Series, a collaboration between the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the National Museum of African Art.
