as part of THE WEFRAC 25 AND Josèfa Ntjam's exhibition intrications [entanglements]
Space is the Place (1974) is an Afrofuturist science fiction film directed by John Coney.
This futuristic cult classic offers a visionary journey through stories of reinventing Black identity, speculative cosmology, and cultural resistance. Ra, a messenger sent by the ancestors, accompanied by his Arkestra, embodies an intergalactic ambassador tasked with teleporting the Black diaspora to another planet. At the heart of Space Is the Place, jazz and the cosmos become the site of emancipation, re-enchantment of the world, and struggle.
The film's soundtrack, composed by Sun Ra, is released by Evidence Records.
