Astro Black is a new work from Australian duo Soda_Jerk – showing at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien until 17 April. The four channel video installation is composed entirely of found materials, remixed to chronicle an alternative version of history according to the glittering vision of Sun Ra – a musician from outer space.
The work is built around the ideas of Afrofuturism, which uses science fiction tropes as an expression of ‘otherness’ and as a means of creating empowering cultural mythologies.
This could be the history of the future.
