The Afro-Futurism and Afro-Surrealism of Atlantica is the therapeutic manifestation of April Bey—her origin story and a surreal coping mechanism and healing modality for a queer black Femme on Earth. According to Bey, Atlantica is a planet, made in another universe, that parallels, critiques, celebrates and satirizes our own…and rewrites Earth’s history. Beyoncé and Solange [for those who don’t know the equally as talented, gorgeous and accomplished sister of Beyoncé pictured in You Can Heal Yourself When You Take Your Time] “were reassigned into Earth’s history —-with creative license of course—- as the primary leaders of the Women’s Suffragette Movement.” —April Bey
