“Yesterday, We Dreamed of Tomorrow: Birthing in the AfroFuture” is a public arts series and initiative launched by All Our Babies and supported by the City of Cleveland’s Transformative Arts Fund, that uses art, cultural expression, and community engagement to celebrate and improve Black maternal health and well-being through the lens of Afrofuturism.

On Sunday, All Our Babies held its culminating event at City Hall which featured performances, a fashion show, interactive installations and an art exhibition that will be on display on City Hall’s upper level through the end of the year.
