Afrofuture Worldbuild: Dreaming U.S. America 2276
As the United States approaches its 250th birthday, let's look much further ahead. Join us for a special Afrofuture Worldbuild as we imagine the United States 250 years into the future. Using the foresight tool of backcasting, we will envision what a thriving future could look like and identify the conditions, choices, and actions needed to help bring it into being.
This session is for artists, educators, activists, entrepreneurs, students, community builders, futurists, and anyone curious about the future. Whether you are already shaping change in your community or simply seeking new ways to think about what comes next, this Afrofuture Worldbuild will offer practical futures-thinking tools, creative inspiration, and the opportunity to imagine alongside others.
Expect big ideas, thoughtful conversation, and plenty of imagination. Together, we'll explore not only where we want to go, but how we might get there.
As preparation, please take a listen to this meditation to begin visualizing 250 years into the future. [Link]
The worldbuild is three hours long, facilitated by Ingrid LaFleur, founder of The Afrofuture Strategies Institute.
