“Before Yesterday We Could Fly: An Afrofuturist Period Room,” like any of The Met’s period rooms, is a fabrication of a domestic space that assembles furnishings and objects to create a fiction of authenticity. Rather than affirm a fixed moment in time, however, this structure reimagines the immersive experience of the period room by embracing the African diasporic belief that the past, present, and future are interconnected.

On Friday the museum will open its first foray into interiors of the African diaspora with the installation Before Yesterday We Could Fly: An Afrofuturist Period Room. Located significantly at the crossroads between the American wing and the 19th-century Britain and pre-19th-century Europe galleries, the period room considers a number of the varying influences on American and African American culture, creating a bridge between the past and the future.

Museum period rooms often fail to look beyond the purview of the rich, white people of yesteryear, making them seem staid and unadventurous. A new period room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art created through the lens of Afrofuturism, however, is seeking to redefine what the medium can accomplish. Called “Before Yesterday We Could Fly,” the Afrofuturist period room peeks inside the 19th-century house of a matriarch from Seneca Village, a middle-class Black neighborhood razed by New York City to create Central Park.
