Icarus in Reverse | Black Quantum Futurism, The Black Atlantic & Autoethnography

Tonight I read from my draft prose work Icarus in Reverse — a hybrid text combining research, autoethnography, and creative nonfiction. This reading explores: – Black Quantum Futurism – Black aesthetic philosophy – Nonlinear and cyclical temporalities – The Black Atlantic – Migration and precarity – Grief, addiction, and survival – Motherhood as resistance – Afrofuturity as lived practice Black Quantum Futurism, founded by Moor Mother and Rasheedah Phillips, challenges linear conceptions of time and space by centering African diasporic experience, speculative thought, and quantum theory. In this piece, I move between: – The historical voice of Olaudah Equiano – Contemporary migrant housing precarity in Berlin – The metaphor of Icarus – The symbolic presence of Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender – Black maternal ritual as protection and aesthetic intervention 00:00 Introduction 00:33 What Is Black Quantum Futurism? 02:54 Black Aesthetic Philosophy & Resistance 03:53 Birth: In Medias Res 06:01 The Black Atlantic & Equiano 09:00 Glasgow / Berlin / The Greenhouse 11:36 Death & Precarity 16:12 Icarus & The Fall 19:02 Ritual, Hair & Protection 23:31 Afrofuture & The Slave Ship 24:03 Closing Reflection This is a draft reading.
