Black food is a living, breathing timeline—rooted in legacy, built for the future.
Curated by Last Supper Society, Futureproof is a culinary time travel experience that kicks off the Hella Juneteenth Festival and opens Futureproof: Blueprints for Black Futures at the Oakland Museum of California—an immersive AI art installation where spoken visions of Black futures are transformed into visual artworks in real time.
Each course in this intimate dinner tells a story across time—from ancestral traditions to bold new expressions. In a moment that bridges past and possibility, Chef Mariya Moore-Russell—the history-making first Black woman to receive a Michelin star—joins a roster of visionary Black chefs, adding her voice to the evolving narrative of Black culinary legacy.
Because Black food isn’t just part of the past—it is Futureproof.
