In 1996 this zine was co-produced at Warwick University by ***collapse, CCRU, Switch, and ko::labs as the third in a series, but was never printed, although some of the texts would go on to be published in Abstract Culture.
Featuring texts by Kodwo Eshun, Steve Metcalf, Rohit Lekhi, Angus Carlyle, Mark Fisher, Ron Eglash, Turbofunk, and Delta, ***collapse afrofutures documents some of the pioneering research into ‘diasporic currents, voodoo memetics, and darkside cyberculture’, twenty years before the concept of afrofuturism started to appear in mainstream media.
Kodwo Eshun is a British-Ghanaian writer, theorist and filmmaker. He studied University College, Oxford University and Southampton University. He currently teaches on the MA in Contemporary Art Theory in the Department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
