Based heavily in Afrofuturism, Black Kirby's characters show black people as heroes using ancient customs and futurist motifs from the African and African American diaspora. This piece is inspired by the many of the heroic characters found in the work of Black Kirby, but mainly Motherboxx Connection. (Black Kirby: In Search of the Motherboxx Connection)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to scholar Regina N. Bradley, Motherboxx Connection is \"a pun on Jack Kirby's motherbox, a living computer connected to the world, the Motherboxx too is a living computer with a heightened awareness of racial and sexual discourses surrounding the black body. The motherboxx is the technological equivalent of the \"mother land\" in the black diaspora imagination. She is where black identities merge and depart.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CSJr. Music","offers":[{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":42270250598479,"sku":"1320-ss","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score – XL","offer_id":42270251319375,"sku":"1320-cs","price":89.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/ffd8f4a672dc067dd128435764b8adea.jpg?v=1749671743","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/simon-motherboxx-connection-csj","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
