In her manifesto Syms calls for black diasporic artistic producers to create culture that focuses on a more realistic future on earth. Syms writes, "The imaginative challenge that awaits any Mundane Afrofuturist author who accepts that this is it: Earth is all we have. What will we do with it? The chastening but hopefully enlivening effect of imagining a world without fantasy bolt-holes: no portals to the Egyptian kingdoms, no deep dives to Drexciya, no flying Africans to whisk us off to the Promised Land...The understanding that our "twoness" is inherently contemporary, even futuristic. DuBois asks how it feels to be a problem. Ol’ Dirty Bastard says "If I got a problem, a problem's got a problem 'til it’s gone."〔http://rhizome.org/editorial/2013/dec/17/mundane-afrofuturist-manifesto/ 〕 In 2014, Syms released ''Most Days'', which consisted of table read of Syms screenplay about an average day looks like for a young black woman in 2050 Los Angeles. The score for the album was composed by Neal Reinalda. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Black to the Future )〕 In 2015 Syms was included in the New Museum Triennial ''Surround Audience''.〔 *http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/27/arts/design/review-new-museum-triennial-casts-a-wary-eye-on-the-future.html 〕 ==Lectures and Exhibitions== Syms has lectured at Yale University, SXSW, Project Row Houses, the Houston Museum of African American Art, California Institute of the Arts, University of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Johns Hopkins University, Maryland Institute College of Art, and MoMA P.S.1.
