Afrofuturism & beyond
The SDG that I have chosen was "Wakanda is mysterious on the global scale. Keeps itself secret for self-preservation while still participating in global diplomatic conversations."(Terry, M., Aisha, S., Rufaro, G., Calvin, W, 2018). Wakanda is very mysterious and is hiding the country's position with a transparent camouflage. This is to prevent Vibranium from spreading far away. But this isn't just a good choice. The technological prowess of the various countries in the story continues to develop, and the location may be discovered one day, and an invasion may occur. This corruption makes it very difficult to bring in the same culture, and it seems that they are only striving to maintain tradition and develop technological skills. Inviting ordinary Africans to Wakanda space is likely to be a hazardous option. This is because even inside, there was an expectation to steal the Vibranium, and there will likely be a spy when the public comes in. Therefore, if ordinary Africans are accepted, it will help them establish themselves as far away from Wakanda base as possible.
Afrofuturism evaluates the past and the future to create a better environment for the present generation of blacks through technology, often seen through art, music, and literature (Taylor, C, 2020). The topic of my scenario is the future of the game. I haven't considered the exact world or story yet, but I expect the game to be played with Afrofuturism because it is an area that everyone can easily access. I think it is also a way to connect future game systems with African culture. The movie Black Pensor is a very well-connected film with Afrofuturism. Culture, legendary stories, facts, etc., are well included, and most of the movie's main characters are black people. So Black Fenceer is known among people as one of the representative films of Afrofuturism.
Indigenous futurism consists of media forms such as art, literature, comics, and games that express the indigenous view of the future, past, and present in the context of science fiction and related subgenres and cultural reality ("Indigenous Futurisms," n.d.).
However, there are limitations to historical, traditional, and cultural facts. All historical facts and classic stories have limited storylines and fixed story frames, making some parts challenging to touch recklessly. There is also a problem with the possibility that the culture and facts that people think are a bit different.
Indigenous futurism uses historical facts, or traditional stories, to engage in art, culture, and games, so I think plural futurism can include historical facts, cultural facts, and recent events or actions that people will easily forget. Also, it can be defined that just a little thing or a minor event that went by for a while is included in this.
