Exploring Drexciya: My talk at the Bowers Museum
On February 1st, 2025, I had the honor of speaking at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, California, about Drexciya—the mythology, the music, and its impact on Afrofuturism. The discussion was moderated by Professor Jalondra Davis, whose insights into Black speculative fiction and aquatic histories added depth to the conversation. Sponsored by the Bowers Museum and Neptunian Influence, the event explored the origins of the Drexciyan narrative, its connections to African diaspora storytelling, and how it continues to inspire new generations. Sharing this vision with an engaged audience in such a prestigious setting was a powerful experience, reaffirming the importance of mythology and music in shaping our future.
