MissionThe House of Afros, Capes & Curls is an organization whose goal is to connect people from diverse backgrounds and build a community based on a shared love of science fiction, fantasy, gaming, and Afrofuturism, while providing a safe space to explore the artistic literary and historic merits of geek culture.

VisionThe House was created as a vehicle for POC to build more inclusive environments to engage around seemingly non-traditional spaces such as gaming, comics, science fiction, media, and technology. We want to ensure that the representation of and consumption by POC is normalized rather than seen as an anomaly. We strive to increase representation for adults and youth of color, create programs that build community and create programming that generates a sense of belonging where the community as a whole can discuss pertinent and sensitive issues using science fiction, fantasy, comics, and games as a catalyst for conversation.

Gaming in the midst of Covid-19
In these...interesting times, when people really need to connect we have come up with a new way to play and stay connected. Bi-Weekly, The House of Afros, Capes & Curls will have a Virtual Game Nights. We’ll still be able to have Trivia and Werewolves of Miller Park from the safety of our quarantined homes. We’ll also have a sign up for some role play and Netflix viewing parties on alternate weeks. So bring your snack and your drink and get ready to play!
We also have The Young History Detectives which will be available virtually for the summer break. YHD meets twice a week. Cases and schedule coming soon. Contact for registration.
