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.

A workshop with Youth HEALers Stand Up! and community members to envision the future(s) of housing and new models of support, resources, emotional and physical health and safety for low income/institutionalized/disconnected people under 25 in Philly.

Visioning sessions will include mapping, storytelling, resource-sharing and other activities that will allow youth and participants to create a collaborative, multi-prong action plan for shaping the future of housing justice in Philadelphia.

About Youth HEALers Stand Up!: Youth HEALers Stand Up! is a collective of young people ages 13-24 who have struggled against homelessness, and who are committed to sparking and maintaining a youth-led movement to fight youth homelessness, housing insecurity, and poverty in Philadelphia and beyond. The HEALers are committed to altering power dynamics in youth serving systems so that more young people have access to decision-making processes that affect their lives, and so that adult professionals learn to see youth as potential resources for creating solutions, rather than as problems themselves. At the same time, The HEALers are committed to creating a space where participants and community members experience healing through consciousness raising, peer support, and solidarity building around youth homelessness and related experiences of foster care, incarceration and detention, and/or intergenerational poverty. The HEALers are housed at People’s Emergency Center, a comprehensive community development and housing non-profit serving the West Philadelphia community since 1972. —————————– Workshop is part Community Futurisms: Time & Memory in North Philly 002 - #blackspaceagency | #afrofuturism #youth #homelessness #youthactivism #wakanda #philly #phillyyouth #blackfutures #communityfuturisms #communityfutureslab (at Icebox Project Space)
CP Time has been both a defense mechanism against Black communal trauma and post-trauma under the conditions of class warfare and racial oppression, and a harkening back to a more natural ancestral temporal-spatial consciousness and presentism /// Time Travel Experiment #1 (Experimental Time Order) youtu.be/r0s3JM5mk8s | #afrofuturism #timetravel #diytimetravel #blackquantumfuturism #bobsweeney #bojobreeze #experiments #happynewyear #temporality #nonlinear #newyear #recurrenceplot #blackfuturism #blackfutures #communityfutureslab #cptime #futuresciencesbooks
“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)
