Gallery After-Hours: Dr. Len Lawson Presentation
The Sumter County Gallery of Art invites you to join us for a presentation by Dr. Len Lawson.
This dynamic program will explore the imaginative world of Afrofuturism—a cultural aesthetic and intellectual movement that blends African diasporic history with speculative visions of the future across visual art, literature, film, music, and media. The program will highlight how artists and storytellers use futuristic motifs, mythology, technology, and narrative innovation to reframe identity, challenge historical narratives, and envision liberated futures.
This presentation will also mark the closing of the gallery’s winter exhibitions—Dominique Hodge: The Art of Afro-Alchemy and Patrick Mahoney: Worlds Seen and Unseen—which will be on view through March 6.
Through engaging discussion and multimedia examples, audiences will discover how Afrofuturism connects artistic expression with cultural empowerment and imagines new possibilities.
Tuesday, March 3 at 5:30 p.m.
