“Afronaut(a) travels through culture and the moving image.”
—Alisha B. Wormsley
The Afronaut(a) salon series returns with a third edition designed to spark conversation and incite cinematic exploration. Pittsburgh-based interdisciplinary artist Alisha B. Wormsley curates an array of visionary works that map a journey around the globe, and from the past into the future. With archival films, classic features and international works by artists from Ethiopia, Kenya, the UK and more, Afronaut(a) is a launchpad for investigation and imagination—fueled by science-fiction and the supernatural.
Screenings feature guests artists, including Scott Andrew, Ricardo Robinson, Ingrid LaFleur, D.S. Kinsel and others.
Made possible with generous support from the A.W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation.
