Y'all should check out this art review from New York Times. As side from being an art review, it discusses the role afrofuturism has played on black identity.
It begins with a profile of Sun Ra who, "gave African-American identity a new, loose, utopian way to go. And he inspired an interdisciplinary cultural movement called Afrofuturism, which is the subject of a fabulous exhibition at the Studio Museum in Harlem".
It claims, "Afrofuturism lets artists retain race and its undismissable history as a subject, but encourages them to mess with it, go wild: dissect it, customize it, flaunt it, move beyond it, and do any and all of that in high visual style."
