Imagine a new world where joy, wonder, and peace prevail. What if sound and color could be our weapons against war, chaos, and despair? What if love really does save the day! We can build this world of harmony with clear vision, love, and authenticity. All are welcome with a pure heart and pure intention.

All others beware! Don’t be a joysnatcher!

Worlds Alive and Jimetta Rose pay homage to the genius of Afrofuturist pioneer Sun Ra and the limitless nature of imagination. Blending the infectious power of The Voices of Creation with the innovative expertise of Shafiq Husayn and the Everything Raw movement artists, Jimetta introduces her new world. Get ready for the journey to MettaSun, a planet, a portal, a sound … an experience.
