CONCLUSION

In this thesis, Afrofuturism is utilized as a way to visualize an African depiction of the ever-growing population in the Kakuma Refugee camp in Kenya. Perhaps Kakuma can become a thriving, commerce-based community that contributes great financial wealth to the Kenyan government. The creation of a space for each of these characters serves as a tool for empowerment and a way to project growth in Kakuma. There exist many more characters, some unheard and unseen, whose stories need to be told. This thesis lives on to speculate who these people are and how their futures unfold.
