Description

This work, part of a series with HUM-2016-00008, takes inspiration from sci-fi and the Afrofuturism art & cultural movement, depicting women of colour in roles that defy stereotypes by reclaiming elements of science fiction and popular entertainment. This image depicts a dark-skinned woman with pale blue hair, riding a futuristic motorcycle - the woman is rendered in full colour, whereas the motorcycle and elements of the background are left in sketch form, placing her as the undisputed focus of the composition.
