Joy Fennell
Future ancestors—Afro-futurist visions where history and possibility converge.
Founder of The Future in Black, Joy Fennell redefines how Blackness is seen, imagined, and remembered. Her work envisions future ancestors—where reimagined histories meet visionary futures.
Her practice uses AI to blend artistic traditions that often excluded Black subjects—from regal portraiture historically commissioned by white patrons to liberated, fantastical worlds and intimate photographic portraits that reveal the depth of human experience.
