Since the sea isn't bound to land-based ideas of space and time, it can hold vital counternarratives, as evidenced by Drexciya’s nautical Afrofuturism and their enduring appeal.

Special guests include visual artist Abdul Qaddim Haqq, arts activist DeForrest Brown Jr, and scholar Katherine McKittrick.
