What to Expect

This hands-on workshop guides participants through both writing exercises and collage creation. You’ll explore concepts of Afrofuturism: a cultural movement that blends African diaspora experiences with science fiction, technology, and speculative futures.

The session is designed for both writers and visual artists. Whether you prefer putting pen to paper or working with images, you’ll find space to express your vision of African futures.

All Materials Included

Jam’s Creative Lab provides everything you need:

• Art supplies for collage making
• Writing materials
• Snacks throughout the session

Just bring yourself and your imagination.

Why Afrofuturism Matters

Afrofuturism gives Black creators space to reimagine the future on their own terms. Instead of being absent from science fiction narratives, African and Indigenous perspectives take center stage. This workshop celebrates that creative power.
