IAAA’s mission continues to research, document, and celebrate the cultural and intellectual production of Africa and its diaspora in the Atlantic world and beyond with a commitment to the study of Blacks in modernity through concentrations in Pan-Africanism and Black Urban Studies.
The CBVC, is a space for scholarly and artistic inquiry (framing and reframing) into the understanding and exploration of images focusing on black people globally with critical evaluation of images in multiple realms of culture, including how various archives and the development of visual technologies affect the construction of representations.

People are Saying
I love Black Futures, it is so alive and right now….I am nodding so much because of this wonderful living handheld exhibit that I don’t have to use electricity to use!”
I remember having a conversation with a friend about how our grandparents kept the plastic on their couches. Exploring these practices and perhaps how social class informs behavior across cultures is so interesting.
