Abstract

The central idea of Africanfuturism is that Africans will explore the universe with their eyes as they emerge from their cocoons. Exploration by humans, whether done consciously or unconsciously, always leads to a larger perspective and knowledge is still essential for life. Africanfuturism, in contrast to Afrofuturism, focuses more on African culture and mythology than on comparisons to or the cultural influence of Westerners. This research article studies the joy of exploration in the Africanfuturistic novel, Nnedi Okorafor Binti, the first novel of the Binti Trilogy. It dealt with the travel of Binti who was the first Himba tribe girl to study in intergalactic University on the planet Oomza. Binti's decision to leave her homeland to pursue an education demonstrates the importance of both exploration and cultural preservation. Even in a technologically advanced society, Binti's path to the university education serves as a constant reminder of the significance of education for girls. Education will enable Binti's generation and subsequent generations of her tribe to achieve significant progress. Additionally, by returning the tentacle to the Chief of Meduse, Binti forged an alliance and peace between humans and Meduse. The study primarily encompassed the area of culture, tribe, journey, and education as the point of exploration. It also discusses the generational differences between youngsters and traditional people and the difficulties encountered when interacting with the modern environment.
