Abstract: This symposium is an active engagement with the edited volume, Afrofuturism in Black Panther: Gender, Identity, and the Remaking of Blackness, a text that provides an interdisciplinary examination of the 2018 film Black Panther. The symposium introduction provides an overview of the history and widespread impact of Afrofuturism as theory and practice and offers a summary of the contributors’ essays. Each of the four contributors, Reynaldo Anderson, Rebecca Wanzo, Kris F. Sealey and Jane Anna Gordon use Afrofuturism in Black Panther as a point of departure for their examinations of the continued impact of Afrofuturism, politics and identity, and cultural practice.
