This year, for #BlackSpaceWeek, the Black In Astro team wants to uplift how our community brings our multidimensional identities and experiences with us into Space. The concept of multidimensionality allows us to acknowledge that our identities are not just intersectional, but ever-changing and ever-evolving based on our lived experiences. Multidimensionality is a way of expressing our constant relationship with everything around us, from the current matrices of oppression to the historical wisdoms of our ancestors, from our individual struggles to our collective liberation. To embrace multidimensionality is to celebrate how we are just as complex and fascinating and worthy of awe as the universe we are traversing. Black In Astro is excited #BlackSpaceWeek will provide the opportunity for the Black Space Community to celebrate our multidimensionality and everything that it entails. Starting with the #BSWRollCall and continuing for the rest of #BlackSpaceWeek, we cannot wait to get into #MTheory and what it means to be #AfroDynamic; we will provide a #LiftOff platform to showcase our collective talents and reflect on #ContainingMultitudes; and finish the week by putting on #ForTheCulture and looking towards an #NDimensional future by honoring our past.

Theme for 2024

The Theme for Black Space Week 2024 is MultiDimensional:

We are multidimensional beings made of stardust. This year, for #BlackSpaceWeek, the Black In Astro team wants to uplift how our community brings our multidimensional identities and experiences with us into Space.

The concept of multidimensionality allows us to acknowledge that our identities are not just intersectional, but ever-changing and ever-evolving based on our lived experiences. Multidimensionality is a way of expressing our constant relationship with everything around us, from the current matrices of oppression to the historical wisdoms of our ancestors, from our individual struggles to our collective liberation. To embrace multidimensionality is to celebrate how we are just as complex and fascinating and worthy of awe as the universe we are traversing.

Black In Astro is excited #BlackSpaceWeek will provide the opportunity for the Black Space Community to celebrate our multidimensionality and everything that it entails. Starting with the #BSWRollCall and continuing for the rest of #BlackSpaceWeek, we cannot wait to get into #MTheory and what it means to be #AfroDynamic; we will provide a #LiftOff platform to showcase our collective talents and reflect on #ContainingMultitudes; and finish the week by putting on #ForTheCulture and looking towards an #NDimensional future by honoring our past.
