Past, Present, & Afrofuturism, a Visual Art Exhibit by XPayne, is now on display at OZ Arts Nashville.

Past, Present, & Afrofuturism, curated in partnership with Clarence Edwards, synthesizes themes from African cultures, Western culture and Afrofuturism to establish a new Black iconography. Historical symbolism is woven together with pop culture art techniques, making these paintings incredibly unique among present day artwork. Separated into three parts, Past, Present and Future, each series of paintings is meant to build upon the last like scenes in a play. The three parts together as one ask audiences to consider not only the accumulation of human achievements so far, but also the vast, unknown nature of the future ahead.

Art goers can view the exhibit by emailing OZ’s Manager of Artistic Programming, Daniel Jones, at daniel@ozartsnashville.org to make an appointment.
