The Ancestor’s Future: An Afrofuturist’s Journey Through Time

August 8, 2024

Artist and historian Cheyney McKnight’s first solo exhibition featuring her performance pieces, photographs, and clothing designs that are transformed into modern textiles while highlighting the Black experience in America with 18th and 19th-century silhouettes comes to King Manor!

The Ancestor’s Future is a significant exploration of Black America’s past, viewed through the lens of Afrofuturism. McKnight’s work delves into a distant future while drawing on the past and present, illuminating the crucial role of Black bodies, health, and joy. McKnight’s creative practice, rooted in history, offers a fresh and enlightening understanding of our shared history and future.
