This year’s 2026 exhibition is focused on themes from the Afrofuturism and/or science fiction, fantasy, or mysticism related to the African diaspora. The exhibition seeks to connect heritage and culture to modern expressions of identity and imagine futures.
The goal of this exhibition is to display a specific theme in African American history to honor the Juneteenth holiday, while also making statements that reflect current events.
