Abstract
Esoteric Africana is an installation-based exhibition inspired by wizard tropes, high fantasy, and the blending of linages. This project was my way of bringing light to a genre named Afro-Fantasy. Afro-Fantasy blends Black and African aesthetics and traditions and incorporates the familiar motifs of High-Fantasy to create a new genre where Black people are the highlight of these Epics. Esoteric Africana challenges Euro-centric narratives within the genre and pop culture and creates a space where Black identity, culture, and history are celebrated.
