FIRST FRIDAY RECEPTION, NOVEMBER 1, 2019, 5-7pm at the Painted Bride Art Center
Activation, Pt. 01: Daylight Saving Time Epilogue
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 3, 2019, 3-6pm at the Painted Bride Art Center - Invite Only Event for Black womxn, demes, girls, and NB folks (DM your email if you self identify and want an invite)| As part of the unveiling of the Black Womxn Temporal Portal, Daylight Saving Time Epilogue is a ritual performance and lectures exploring time, alternative temporalities, trauma, healing, and temporal shifts from the frameworks, rituals, and cultural traditions of self-identifying Black womxn, femmes, girls, non-binary, and gender non-conforming folks. The program acknowledges the end of Daylight Saving Time and will create protection rituals for the end of DST, which usually triggers Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) as the temparatures drop and days get shorter. DST Epilogue is invite only to allow attendees to have the opportunity to take their time exploring the Black Womxn Temporal Portal during the lectures and rituals and to cultivate an environment where people feel safe and open to sharing and exploring the themes and topics of the event. #blackfutures #blacktemporal #afrofuturism #afrodiasporictime #blackquantumfuturism #blackwomxntemporal #blackgrandmotherparadoxes (at Painted Bride Art Center)

#RedSummer1919 Centennial Memorial @moormother @blackquantumtuturism@rbma + many prolific, amazing artists. 4 hour memorial performance included #blackquantumfuturism digital and print zine, and temporary stage and video installation. The circular stage is the Red Summer 1919 astrological zodiac from #BlackQuantumFuturism #TelescopingEffect depicting Times/locations where riots and uprisings took place entangled with the solar eclipse of 1919, while the time tunnel is an actual time tunnel. The Red Summer print zines also pay tribute to Ida B Wells’ The Red Record. | #afrofuturism #BlackQuantumFuturism #redsummer #redsummer1919 #tbt #thermodynamicthursdays #timetravel #diytimetravel (at BRIC)

Experimental Time Order
Sep 13 – Nov 2, 2019 / Opening Sep 12 @ 7:00pm
Artist Talk/Workshop Sept 14 3-5pm
Performance Sept 14 8pm
Both events are free
#BlackQuantumFuturism (BQF) is a multidisciplinary collaboration between artists Camae Ayewa and Rasheedah Phillips. Through their videos, publications, collages, sculptures, performances, and discursive events, BQF engage in community-based projects that draw from quantum physics and Black/Afrodiasporic cultural traditions of consciousness, time, and space. For this exhibition, BQF will present a body of their recent work that questions how we can manipulate and collapse space-time in order to imagine, see, and make manifest future realities in the present.
Their exhibition will be complemented by a workshop/artist talk that further engages with BQF’s interest in DIY time travel. For their talk, they’ll be joined by Adam Rudder from the Hogan’s Alley Society, who will act as a respondent and speak to the work they do with Vancouver’s Black community. Following that afternoon talk, Black Quantum Futurism will make a performance at 8pm on Saturday September 14. #vancouver #blacktemporal (at Western Front)

Community Futurisms: Time & Memory in North Philly 002 - Black Space Agency
———-/-/
Inspired by the legacy of the Fair Housing Act, Civil Rights and Black Liberation movements, and the space race in North Philadelphia during the 1960s, #BlackQuantumFuturism presents art installation and community programming exploring affordable and fair housing, displacement/space/land grabs, and gentrification through the lens of afrofuturism, oral histories/futures, and Black spatial-temporal autonomy.

“With her partner, writer and public interest attorney Rasheedah Phillips, @moormother developed #BlackQuantumFuturism , an artists’ collective which understands space and time through an Afrofuturistic lens. They also founded a grassroots community social space in North Philadelphia called #CommunityFuturesLab.” Great @moormother interview in @thequietus featuring debut of new video with #moorjewelry (at Community Futures Lab)

Join @abladeofgrassnyc fellows and current @phlassembled collaborators #BlackQuantumFuturism (Rasheedah Phillips and Camae Ayewa) and the @ReentryThinkTank (Courtney Bowles and Mark Strandquist) as they lead a gallery walk through their @philamuseum exhibition, followed by an ABOG- and PMA-moderated participatory forum on the ways that collaboration and collective imagination can address intransigent issues like reentry after imprisonment and gentrification.
