What does it mean to walk backwards into the future? 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 1, Indigenous futurist Keolu Fox, PhD, associate professor at UC San Diego and co-founder of the Native BioData Consortium, sits down with ancestral futurist Lonny J Avi Brooks, PhD, professor and chair of communication at Cal State East Bay and co-founder of AfroRithm Futures Group. The conversations are “unscripted,” so we don’t know where they will ultimately go—but here’s a taste of where they might: • What does it mean to walk backwards into the future? • Is ancestral intelligence the real AI? • How do you balance urgency with responsibility to future generations? 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?
