| About the
Calendar
Heirs is
the calendar from husband-and-wife photographers Kahran and Regis
Bethencourt, the team behind Atlanta’s CreativeSoul Photography and authors
of the bestselling 2020 book GLORY:
Magical Visions of Black Beauty.
And while last season, the photographers hearkened to the powerful history
of the African diaspora, now they turn to its radiant future—through the
lens of Afrofuturism, a philosophy and cultural and artistic aesthetic that
dares to envision future worlds molded by and for Black experiences. But
this isn’t mere science fiction: The subjects of these portraits are young,
Black changemakers and activists already making a difference in their
communities in fields as diverse as technology, education, sports,
agriculture, and business. The images, accompanied by inspiring quotes,
reflect the photographers’ passion for truly inventive visual storytelling
and their belief in children as heirs to the worlds of their ancestors.
