Description
In the exhibition Afrofuturism: A History of Black Futures, visitors to the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture explore iconic objects from the lives of cultural pioneers, including sci-fi author Octavia Butler's typewriter, the Star Trek uniform worn by Nichelle Nichols as the character Lt. Uhura, and the spacesuit-inspired costume musician Nona Hendryx wore when performing with LaBelle. Our graphic cotton t-shirt is a handsome souvenir of the exhibition and a celebration of Afrofuturistic expression.
Museum Story
The National Museum of African American History and Culture is the nation's largest and most comprehensive cultural destination devoted exclusively to exploring, documenting, and showcasing the African American story and its impact on American and world history. Established by an Act of Congress in 2003, it is the culmination of decades of efforts to establish a national museum that promotes and highlights the contributions of African Americans. To date, the Museum has collected close to 37,000 objects.
Its newest exhibition, Afrofuturism: A History of Black Futures, explores the past, present, and future of this dynamic concept that features the various people, unique themes and radical artistry that have given voice to it.
