The Carnegie Hall Afrofuturism Festival

Greetings Dieselfunkateers!  At long last the time has arrived.  We are now fully in the Event Horizon.

The Carnegie Hall Afrofuturism Festival

A Celebration of all things Afrofuturist runs from February 1st – March 31st 2022.  A MAJOR announcement was made today by the highly respected, Carnegie Hall

We are happy to report that Dieselfunk Studios is well represented.  Our events range from our foundation event, the return of the career retrospective exhibit;

BLACK METROPOLIS: 30 Years of Afrofuturism, Comics, Music, Animation, Decapitated Chickens, Heroes, Villains, and Negroes 

Running at the historic Children’s Arts Carnival, this exhibit taking place at this historic festival sets the record straight on an important component of Visual Afrofuturist history; The Art of Tim Fielder.  So much work has gone into making this historic Festival one for the history books.  No powder will be left dry, no stone left unturned.  More Info to Come!

ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST: Afrofuturism Has Always Looked Forward

Greetings Dieselfunkateers!  The Road to INFINITUM continues as we close in on our release date of January 19, 2021INFINITUM: An Afrofuturist Tale, published by HarperCollins Amistad, is my long sought graphic novel labor of love.  The proofs have been sent out, cover blurbs acquired, cover art finalized, and alas, the book files have been sent to the printer.

As the media ramps up we have been pleasantly surprised in Dieselfunk Studios by a very sweet article in Architectural Digest by wonderful author, Taylor Crumpton.  Check it out HERE.  Also, gotta admit, it’s cool being mentioned in the same light as Sun Ra, Octavia Butler, and Janelle Monáe. COOL INDEED

BACK TO IT!
