 Artist\n\n\nJoin Root Division this February for Diasporic Futurism Part 
 II: The Future Futures. As a curatorial project, Diasporic Futurism was 
 born out of the desire to showcase and celebrate emerging and established 
 Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) artists whose work reckons 
 with the themes of imagination, identity, place, and joy. Diasporas are in 
 reference to the history of forced migration as a result of political, 
 cultural, and physical subjugation, which is the story of many BIPOC 
 peoples currently living in occupied land. Futurism envisions imaginative, 
 alternate realities full of beauty, possibility, and liberation of the sort 
 systematically denied to those populations because of a patriarchal, 
 capitalist, white supremacist society. \n\nThis curatorial project launched 
 in July 2020 with a virtual exhibition — Part I: The Present Future — 
 and continues this February with Diasporic Futurism Part II: The Future 
 Futures. This iteration of the exhibition will feature site-based 
 performances and an immersive and multidimensional experience in the 
 gallery that features: video installations, 3-D artwork, surrealist 
 painting, sculpture, comic, and graphic drawings.\n\nDiasporic Futurism is 
 firmly rooted in the desire to find joy in the dynamic chaos of systemic 
 upheaval, while unapologetically centering the voices, lives, and stories 
 of Black people. \n\nDiasporic Futurism Part II: The Future Futures will be 
 on view online from Feb. 1 - 27, 2021  in our virtual gallery:  
 rootdivisiontalk.wordpress.com. In person appointments to the physical 
 gallery will be determined at a later date alongside San Francisco 
 mandates.\n \n___\nTo view Diasporic Futurism Part II: The Future Futures,
