#BSAMtoronto2016 ☥👽✊ @Regrann_App from @paere_ - We are still moved at PAERE with the afrofuristic vibes from our first Black Speculative Arts Movement event in Canada. Our social media wall definitely got caught up in all the light and positivity, here's a taste if you missed it. Thanks #BSAM for giving this a try! Until next year, stay re-imagining and creating new futures. Shout out to @amanda_parris and @blacksuncomics for really coming out on the tweets! #afrofuturism #blackgirlmagic #bsam #thosehashtagstho #aliensinthe6 #bsamtoronto2016 - #regrann (at OCAD University)
