In The Memory Librarian music, fashion, film and futurist icon Janelle Monáe returns to the Afrofuturistic world of her critically acclaimed album, Dirty Computer, to explore how different threads of liberation – queerness, race, gender plurality, love – become tangled in a totalitarian landscape... and to discover costs of unravelling them.

Dystopian sci fi will never be my first choice, but it is a powerful vehicle for getting messages across. I appreciate Monáe's expansive vision and how they've employed multiple art forms and collaborations in music, video and writing to build it. ⚠️ Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia
