FAQ About The Influence of Afrofuturism in Modern Pop Culture

What is the difference between Afrofuturism and Africanfuturism?
Afrofuturism and Africanfuturism are converging, yet distinct concepts. Afrofuturism is a broader movement that includes the African diaspora's interaction with futuristic narratives and technology. Africanfuturism, a term popularized by author Nnedi Okorafor, focuses specifically on Africa and offers a science fiction narrative centered on African experiences, independent of Western influences. Both movements aim to reshape perceptions of black futures but vary in their primary focus and geographical narratives.
