# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Future of Afrofuturism in Jewelry
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 20 Nov, 2025 at 04:00 pm – Thu, 20 Nov, 2025 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join MAD for an afternoon conversation on how the term Afrofuturism is defined in the world of contemporary jewelry.

Design curator and historian Sebastian Grant will begin with a presentation on strategies in Black jewelry making, exploring how Afrofuturist art can be defined through design. Is it only seen in the futuristic technology of the Black Panther films? Or is it connected to spirituality and heritage? In Africa, sankofa symbolism represents the act of looking to the past to better understand the future. The panel will explore how Afrofuturism engages with sankofa and embraces both past and future to express notions of Black identity, agency, and freedom.

Following his presentation, Grant will speak with contemporary makers Johnny Nelson and Heather Carter (speaking on the work of her mother, Panchita Carter) to discuss how each incorporates Afrofuturism into their own practice.
