{"title":"Space fantasy: Nagaoka Shusei's contributions to Afrofuturist visual culture","authors":"Nathan Hesselink","doi":"10.1111/jacc.13598","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jacc.13598","url":null,"abstract":"<p>With the success of the <i>Black Panther</i> movies (2018 and 2022) and extended franchise, and the high-profile exhibit and publication of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, titled <i>Afrofuturism: A History of Black Futures</i> (Strait & Conwill, <span>2023</span>), academics working within the large and diverse field of Afrofuturism must feel their work is finally coming to be understood by the general public. A movement with ties to visual art, design, fashion, architecture, film, music, theater, literature, dance, and grassroots organizing, Afrofuturism has flourished as an international phenomenon, with scholars now acknowledging a third stage in its long development (Anderson, <span>2023</span>, pp. 59–60).</p><p>The foundations of Afrofuturism lie in the efforts and aspirations of African, African American, and other African diasporic actors. And yet in the realm of African American popular music, there was a special window in time when a diasporic Japanese illustrator based in Los Angeles, California—Nagaoka Shusei—worked to create some of the most iconic and well-loved album covers in the Afrofuturist pantheon (including the two LPs described in the epigraphs). This article examines in detail his contributions to such Afrofuturist visual culture, primarily through the lens of his album cover work with the African American super group Earth, Wind & Fire. Central to this artistic endeavor was the special relationship Nagaoka nurtured and maintained throughout his life with Earth, Wind & Fire's founder, Maurice White. In combination with the lyrics, themes, costumes, choreography, and, of course, the music, Nagaoka's art would complete White's vision for his band. Their collaboration was also appreciated in a special way among Earth, Wind & Fire's Japanese fan base.</p><p>Space and fantasy were passions in Nagaoka Shusei's visual universe, the two terms and images coming together in a way that would permanently bind together Nagaoka with Earth, Wind & Fire. It is a story of Japanese and African American synergies, sympathies, and respect between two individuals with a shared view of humanity, one that embraced difference and looked past the artificial boundaries of race and nationality. It also serves as an example of imagination as expressed through the medium of science fiction and technology that speaks to the potential of alternative, positive presents and futures for all oppressed diasporic peoples.</p><p>Nagaoka Shusei (Nagaoka Sh<span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mover>\u0000 <mi>u</mi>\u0000 <mo>¯</mo>\u0000 </mover>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 </semantics></math>sei長岡秀星; family name, given name)<sup>2</sup> came into the world during one of the most tumultuous periods between his birth country of Japan and his adopted home of the United States.
