We STILL Dream A Future: Afrofuturism Exhibition at King Street Station Reclaims Humanity and Celebrates 20 Years of Truth
The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture is currently hosting an exhibition, “We STILL Dream A Future—Reclaiming Humanity: Afrofuturism Past, Present, Future,” on display at King Street Station through May 9, 2026.
This landmark show marks the 20th anniversary of The Unspoken Truths Traveling History Museum, a collection dedicated to illuminating the often-unspoken truths of American history through an African American lens. Curated by second-generation storyteller Delbert Richardson, the exhibition utilizes artifacts, historical objects, and narrative storytelling to provide a profound, community-grounded cultural experience.
The journey begins by rooting visitors in "Mother Africa," affirming that Black history starts not in bondage, but in rich intellectual, cultural, and technological traditions. It then traces the devastating impact of U.S. chattel slavery and systemic oppression, all while illuminating the enduring brilliance, resistance, and innovation that Black communities have contributed to the United States and the broader world. The meticulous presentation invites visitors to engage with deeper truths that have been excluded from dominant narratives for generations.
The experience culminates in an exploration of Afrofuturism, inviting every visitor to actively participate in imagining a future rooted in joy, love, compassion, and freedom. The exhibition asks a pointed, simple question of its attendees: How will we use our gifts—our superpowers—to help make a more loving, compassionate, and inclusive world a reality?
“We STILL Dream A Future” is free and open to the public through May 9, 2026, at 303 S Jackson St in Seattle. Learn more about the exhibit here.
