Afrofuturism is a contemporary cultural movement that explores African identity through futuristic perspectives, often blending traditional and modern elements to envision potential future scenarios for Africa. A structured survey was conducted among Moroccan scholars, policymakers, and community leaders to gather qualitative data on their perceptions of future developments in various sectors including economy, education, and arts. The survey revealed a predominant interest in technological advancements (56%) as the primary driver for Morocco's future development, with significant concerns over cultural erosion highlighted by 42% respondents. While Afrofuturism offers valuable insights into Moroccan societal aspirations and challenges, it also underscores the need for balanced integration of traditional values in futuristic planning. Policymakers should prioritise dialogue between tradition and modernity to foster sustainable development that respects cultural heritage while embracing innovation.
