Looking through the lenses of three Black art forms-the queer street style of vogue, the Afro-Boricua dance and drumming tradition of bomba, and gospel music-World After This One uses movement and spoken word to examine how Black people have historically reclaimed the materials of empire to construct portals to impossible futures. Blurring the lines between the secular and sacred, celebration and mourning, the past and the yet-to-pass, World After This One imagines Black liberation not as a metaphor, but a possibility.
