Melanin Kris
Melanin Kris is a Rotterdam based multidisciplinary storyteller, better known as the ‘spoken and visual thought’ artist. He believes people are conscious co-creators of reality and therefore architects of the future. He aspires to inspire people to be aware of modern-day superpowers.
Melanin Futurism is the self-coined denominator in which he curates poetry about modern-day dilemmas of a cosmic people, the culture, and the way in which aesthetics serve as a 21st century imagining of ‘unspoken’ thoughts, which are expressed through fashion, magical realism, media-art, and philosophies intercrossing western cosmologies.
