Waithood Magazine is a periodical that foregrounds emerging contemporary African artists and fugitive epistemologies to comprehend the complexities of the human experience through a maroonage perspective. The publication engages with questions of Black spatial thinking, emerging at the intersection of youth agency, urban infrastructure and contemporary arts. The project uses publishing and exhibition making as means of investigation, and experiments with new methodologies for understanding and intervening in the art world, oriented by the desire of imagining and rendering liberated futures for Black societies and territories.
