In an alien nation where Ivorian rapacity breeds tricknology, what is left for a boy and his imagination?In a post-crack dystopia where childhood is robbed, the young black imagination redefines the hero’s journey as a framework to birth the conquering outlaw, where castles are traded for forty acres and swords for semi automatics. A dark, yet
liberating hologram embedded in the psyche, this imagination lends itself as medicine for the disenfranchised youth. Much like the
hero’s journey however, the outlaw must
return home to the simulated terror of reality. LTBAD illustrates a parable that explores the matrix of ancestral memory at the crossroads of Black Subjugation.
