Elle Decor: The Met’s New Afrofuturist Room Asks ‘What if?’
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.
