through the language of contemporary art?

artistic language can be created to deal with
future issues? What is the influence of
Afrofuturism on today's artistic scene?

9 At the Table Dec 2015 São Paulo (Brazil) 1 Technology and body reshaping. To what

transformation ultimately correspond to the
global ideology logic of growth which dreams

scarily unjust and militarised future? Or can
we imagine techobodies and fantastic cyborgs
that spread the knowledge of difference and
are capable to aglutinate machinery, the
organic, desires and imagination?
