ApplicationExperience the promising 2025 Juneteenth Cleveland & Onyx Festival June 19th -
21st, proudly presenting "Afrofuturism"! As Cleveland continues to evolve and
expanded, this unique city is home to many generations of dreamers, doers, and
seers. This year’s event is an invitation to experience Cleveland as the home of
Black Excellence. “Afrofuturism” represents a visionary movement that merges
African culture and history with futuristic elements and imaginative
technology. It envisions a future where Black identity and experiences are
celebrated, exploring possibilities that challenge the dominant narratives of the
past.Through various forms of art, literature, and music, Afrofuturism not only
reclaims African heritage but also inspires new ways of thinking about society,
innovation, and the universe. In essence, Afrofuturism is not just a genre or
aesthetic; it is a powerful lens through which we can envision a brighter, more
inclusive future for all. This is the story of Juneteenth and how we were freed
from chains and now we must free the chains of our minds. We are free to expand
our dreams and seek help from our neighbors in the process of creating our own
generational wealth.
