Black Quantum Futurism is a Philadelphia-based interdisciplinary collaboration between Camae Ayewa and Rasheedah Phillips, blending quantum physics, Afrofuturism, and Afrodiasporic concepts of time, ritual, text, and sound together in works to escape oppression in temporality, science and technology.
