Art by Bart Cooper.

As we round out Afrofutures month here at OkayAfrica, we want to take the time to highlight some of the most imaginative and forward-thinking visual artists in our sphere: our readers.

We sent out a social media call-out, asking artists to submit their best afrofuturisitc artwork using the hashtag #OkayAfroFutures and the results were—in true aforfuturistic fashion—simply otherworldly.

We received over 100 entries, showcasing the creative talents of our readers across the diaspora and we've selected 25 to feature in the gallery below.

You'll find some of our favorite submissions, along with the artists' handle below. Be sure to keep up with your faves on Instagram and be sure to follow the #OkayAfroFutures hashtag on both Instagram and Twitter to see more mind-bending visual art.
