Dr. Herukhuti

Meet Dr. Herukhuti a sociologist/anthropologist, sexologist, educator, shaman, BDSM practitioner, artist, cultural animator, and author. He is the founder of Black Funk, a sexual cultural center dedicated to providing a space for the exhibition and exploration of sensual awareness, sexual consciousness, erotic power, and pleasure. Herukhuti has contributed to the development of the perspective known as Afrocentric, Decolonizing Queer Theory.



Join me in discussing his latest work "Conjuring Black Funk: Notes on Culture, Sexuality and Spirituality, Vol. 1". It is a fiery collection of essays, poetry, creative non-fiction, and experimental writing that challenges conventional thought, offers alternative perspectives, and suggests ways of practicing Afrocentric, queer liberation/transgression. This book is an important contribution to Black Queer Theory, Black Feminist Thought, and Afrocentric Thought.
