Follow trumpeter Theresa May as she takes you on an aural and visual journey based upon a new piece, Afrofuturism, composed by Shanyse Strickland. From the beginning of the piece which calls upon the ancestors with unaccompanied trumpet, to the middle section which dances in a groove to the beat of the African Diaspora, to the finale which ends in the spoken words “Black lives will exist in the future”, this film elicits stories of Blackness and embodies May's personal style, creativity and aesthetic while highlighting Black women.
