Chronicles of Afrofuturist Geographies

The exhibition is structured around three installations, each addressing exile, resistance, and regeneration from different perspectives.

Infinite Transit – Indefinite Exoduses places indigo at the center of a circular flow of intertwined traditions and times.

Echoes of the Vertex – Mechanics of Resistance explores the circularity and sustainability of materials and knowledge within a framework of Adinkra symbols and Ajrak block-printing techniques.

Finally, Holographic Memory – Immaterial Circles reflects on the connections between the earthly and the celestial, integrating music, video, and indigo-dyed garments in an atmosphere that reimagines an Afrofuturist Panama.

Performance is a central component of the duo's practice. For the opening of The Return of Tomorrow, they present Messengers of the Sun – Chronicles of Afrofuturist Geographies and Intergalactic Journeys (2025), a 20-minute intervention that intertwines processional parades, dance, and experimental sounds. Inspired by the mythical figure of Sun Ra 5 and the cosmic migration of the “lost children” from sub-Saharan Africa to the Sirius B galaxy, the performance unfolds a soundscape where dub, punk, poetry, and ritualistic chants merge to bridge the historical layers of the Black Atlantic and the hybrid cultural identities of Panama and Abya Yala (the Americas).

With The Return of Tomorrow, Guzmán and Jankovic invite us to rethink the cartographies imposed by history, reminding us that borders—geopolitical, symbolic, spiritual or cultural—are permeable and that, at these crossings, resilient identities emerge, interwoven in the ebb and flow of history, always in constant transformation.
