Gift of the Artist
Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum’s artwork synthesizes Afrofuturism and earthly and cosmic landscapes to imagine the potential of a radical new future. In Look Out, an indigo, constellation-filled sky sheds blue-hued drops over a rocky landscape, generating another world in which Black people’s full potential can be realized. The artist imagines her landscapes outside of a familiar present, layering translucent swaths of paint and eliminating visual markers of time and space to add a transcendent quality to the work. Sunstrum speculates on African innovation and uniqueness, and calls upon diasporic and collective fantasies to celebrate her African heritage.
