An exploration of the legacy of Sun Ra as a progenitor of Afrofuturism, featuring two movies and a panel discussion, culiminating in a performance by — wait for it — Nona Hendryx, the former girl-group singer who is repositioning herself as a proponent of Afrofuturism (and more power to her), along with the amazing Brobot Johnson, an insanely funny performance artist who takes Afrofuturism out to play.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Did you know that East Village ramen pioneer Rai Rai Ken had an Uptown branch in Manhattanville? Me neither. (Hurry over if you want to eat there after the show.)
