What is Future’s Week?
Futures week is a week in Black History Month where we highlight Afrofuturism: a concept of black liberation via ideas and designs for the future or in the futuristic mindset. It’s like science fiction, but for the melenated culture. This week will host a bunch of events, workshops, screenings, and performances.
About the Film:
The Lost Element is a compilation film that follows a young man by the name of Leo Mercer through the streets of Oakland Ca. It shows his progression from boy to man as he transitions from a wild rebel to healer and community organizer. The film follows Leo as a passionate, but drained community organizer who is ascending from the mishaps of the Bay Area streets, including gentrification, mass incarceration, and a culture that is being extorted from the inside out.
