Embracing the mythic and the speculative, it recycles and reconfigures elements of fable, folklore, science fiction, spiritual traditions, ceremonial pageantry, and the legacies of Afrofuturism. In works that span photography, painting, sculpture, cinema, graphic arts, music and architecture, In the Black Fantastic shows how speculative fictions in Black art and culture are boldly reimagining perspectives on race, gender and identity. &#8220;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Shopping for Books?<\/h3>\n<p>You can support Charleston Good &amp; local bookstores by shopping via <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/shop\/charlestongood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our store at BookShop.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/widgets.js\" data-type=\"search\" data-include-branding=\"false\" data-affiliate-id=\"19618\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>FIND THIS NEWSLETTER USEFUL?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Feel free to share it with a friend!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/charlestongood.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CharlestonGood.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#goodsharing #collaborating4change #chsvolunteers #changemakers<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27480 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Changemakers-Digest-2023-24.jpg\" alt=\"Changemakers-Digest-2023-24\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Changemakers-Digest-2023-24.jpg 700w, https:\/\/growpurpose.com\/charlestongood\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Changemakers-Digest-2023-24-300x171.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 700\/400;\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the 2023 Changemakers Weekly Digest!
