BLACK FUTURES REIMAGINED

The Black experience is distinct, and so too are the futures it envisions. Acknowledging the long history of marginalization and resilience, the path toward Black futures is layered and profound.

At The Afrofuture Strategies Institute (TASI), we are committed to shaping, imagining, and defining the trajectory of Black-bodied futures. Through cutting-edge futures research, immersive world-building workshops, and dynamic exhibitions, we explore the possibilities of thriving Black communities.

TASI is dedicated to crafting strategies that lead to empowering, inclusive, and positive futures—because the future of Black existence deserves intentional care and innovation.

Vision Statement:

At TASI, we envision a world where collective imagination and strategic action transform the impossible into reality.

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to empower undervalued communities within the global majority by enhancing their futures literacy and developing tools, methods, and experiences that inspire ethical and just futures.

The Tenents of TASI

We believe that speculative thinking and imagination hold the promise of achieving the impossible, and we are dedicated to strategically paving the way to turn those dreams into reality.

We strive for justice for all living beings. We hold the earth, cosmos, and each other as sacred.

We are committed to eradicating anti-Blackness by developing liberatory practices and making afrofuture resources easily available.

We believe in the power of the radical imagination and ancestral practices to serve as the vehicle for the liberation of the racialized.
