Eroticism is a life force that gives us access to beauty, pleasure, awe, intimacy, agency, exploration, and self-definition. The Black cultural ideology of Afrofuturism asks us to look at the ways we’ve been shamed, misinterpreted, oppressed, and erased in our past and present-and to then boldly imagine and write ourselves into the future.

Sex educator, Tyrone Davis, will be leading a 90-min workshop offering education and tools on the principles of Afrofuturism, and how we can borrow its powerful and life-affirming wisdom to imagine and self-define our erotic truths with creativity, authenticity, and joy.

Learning Objectives

• Identify three basic principles of Afrofuturism.
• Define eroticism.
• Apply the principles of Afrofuturism to inspire a journey of self-discovery into their erotic truths.

He recently wrote and performed, The Lesson– an original one-person play inspired by a true event that examines the fear of sex education in schools. When a young, elementary school student at an elite, private school asks their
