A new Afrofuturist art exhibition titled 'Futures of Repair' has opened at 195 Morgan Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, featuring six Black artists who imagine a world where Black and Indigenous people receive reparations. The show, a collaboration between creative studio Intelligent Mischief and curator Mia Imani Harrison, includes works by Alisha B. Wormsley, Terence Nance, Ari Melenciano, and American Artist, among others. Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the exhibition runs through March 2026 and presents video, installation, sound, and tech-driven pieces that explore reparations from personal and communal perspectives.
The exhibition matters because it uses art to engage with the urgent and often suppressed conversation around reparations and critical race theory, offering a creative space for audiences to imagine alternative futures. By centering Black and Indigenous perspectives and encouraging artists to experiment freely, 'Futures of Repair' positions visual art as a vehicle for social and political reflection at a time when such topics are increasingly marginalized in public discourse.
