Can imagining futures help us experience abundance, interdependence, and joy as a daily orientation? Join us for Unscripted: Candid Conversations about Who Gets to Imagine the Future, a week-long series where RWJF grantees pair up each day to talk one-on-one about the power of “futuring”—anticipating, imagining, and designing possible tomorrows. (www.rwjf.org/unscripted) In Episode 2, ancestral futurist Lonny J Avi Brooks, PhD, professor and chair of communication at Cal State East Bay and co-founder of AfroRithm Futures Group, talks live with artist and worldbuilder Aisha Shillingford, MSW, MBA, artistic director of Intelligent Mischief. The conversations are “unscripted,” so we don’t know where they will ultimately go—but here’s a taste of where they might: • Can spending time imagining futures help us experience abundance, interdependence, and joy as a daily orientation? • Why is unleashing Black imagination central to shaping more just futures? • How can play, satire, and mischief be used as tactical tools for expanding perceptions of what’s possible? Head over to www.rwjf.org/unscripted to register for the full series, meet the cast, and learn how you can co-create stickers inspired by the conversations. Each episode builds on the last as the guest from one episode becomes the host of the next! Questions? Write us at unscripted@rwjf.org ---------- Like what you see?
