Black To The Future presents: Kinetic Discourses

We’re delighted to be partnering with Black to the Future and The Standard Hotel to kick off Black to the Future’s series of Kinetic Discourses, in which two storytellers discover each other's realms of expertise through dialogue.

RSL Honorary Fellow and actress Adjoa Andoh will be in conversation with Hodderscape science fiction and fantasy editor Calah Singleton, discussing future worlds and fantasies.

We’ll be taking over the Standard’s retrofuturistic Library Lounge, former home to the Camden Council Library for this unique and intimate conversation.

Black To The Future is an Afro-Futurist celebration of outstanding Black artists, a space for visionary imaginings to thrive. It begins as Black History Month ends, with the theme of ‘Black Phantasmagoria’, accompanying Fantasy: Realms of Imagination. A festival founded and directed by Irenosen Okojie in collaboration with the Royal Society of Literature and the British Library, with a focus on invigorating dialogues and genres within which Black literature and art is flourishing.
