FUTURE/PRESENT is a groundbreaking anthology that brings together a diverse group of writers, artists, activists, and scholars who are at the forefront of the most urgent battles for cultural equity and racial justice in a rapidly changing America. This comprehensive volume builds upon five years of national organizing by Arts in a Changing America, an artist-led initiative that aims to challenge structural racism by centering people of color who are driving innovation in the intersection of arts production, community benefit, and social change.
The anthology features a diverse array of essays, criticism, visual and performance art, artist manifestos, interviews, poetry, and reflections on community practice. Contributors delve into critical issues such as placekeeping and belonging, migration and diasporas, the carceral state, reimagining relationships with land, ancestral knowledge as a radical futurity, and shifting paradigms of inequality. By foregrounding the remarkable resilience of communities of color, FUTURE/PRESENT showcases the vital role of artists as first responders to injustices, creative stewards of community cohesion and health, and innovative strategists for equity.
The anthology features an impressive lineup of esteemed contributors, including Dahlak Brathwaite, adrienne maree brown, Jeff Chang, Tameca Cole, Ofelia Esparza, Antoine Hunter, Nobuko Miyamoto, Wendy Red Star, Spel, Jose Antonio Vargas, Carrie Mae Weems, Hinaleimoana Kwai Kong Wong-Kalu. Their insights and perspectives provide a rich tapestry of ideas and experiences that contribute to the ongoing dialogue about cultural equity and racial justice in America.
In conclusion, FUTURE/PRESENT is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of culture, society, and politics in a changing world. This anthology offers a powerful testament to the resilience and creativity of communities of color and highlights the critical role of artists in shaping a more just and equitable future.
