Afrofuturism
"The future isn't somewhere we arrive. It's something we pass on."
Through the Lewis Latimer Fellowship, Cropper builds a future where Black brilliance is the default, not the exception. Afrofuturism, in his practice, is civilizational design rooted in ancestral wisdom.
Pre-colonial systems of governance, ecology, kinship, and craft hold blueprints for tomorrow's most pressing problems. The past is unfinished technology.
Designing the future without ancestral intelligence is designing with a missing dimension. Culture is the deepest form of R&D.
