Abstrakt: The article focuses on the significance of water in Afrofuturism and explores the mythology of Mami Wata, a water goddess, and the Kru tribe's connection to water. Topics include the fear of drowning and disappearance in deep waters, the symbolism of the Nitien object associated with water, and the parallels between the Atlantic crossing of enslaved Africans and visionary thinking about the future.
