UNDERSCORE: The Afrofuturist Salon

Step into the vibrant universe of Lalovavi, Cincinnati Opera?s bold, new Afrofuturist opera, during an elevated after-work evening of hair, art, music, and creative expression at Artsville. The Afrofuturist Salon brings together cultural innovators, creative voices, and curious minds for cocktails, connection, and conversation inspired by Afrofuturism and the power of hair, style, identity, storytelling, and legacy. The evening features a dynamic live conversation with Lalovavi librettist Tifara Brown, wig designer Tiara Jones, and Cassandra Jones, UC Assistant Professor of Africana Studies, exploring the intersections of Black futurism, beauty, storytelling, and self-expression. The experience flows into a high-energy DJ set with spoken word and remixes inspired by Lalovavi, plus raffles, atmosphere, and celebration.
