Ingrid LaFleur | From the Drexicya to Mars: An Interplanetary Water Mission

'With "From the Drexicya to Mars: An Interplanetary Water Mission," Ingrid Lafleur presented a multi-dimensional approach to one of the most important natural resources for humans, water. With Afrofuturism as guide Drexicya, Detroit, and Mars become portals through which to explore the historical and spiritual manifestations of water. How can the cultural movement Afrofuturism disrupt the capitalist narrative and extraction of water and heal our relationship with this life-giving substance?' -- Duke Franklin Humanities Institute
