Afrofuturism Dream Tank: Building Community Futures Part Two

In Honor of Juneteenth

The Afrofuturism Dream Tank(tm) is a reimagined “think tank” grounded in Afrofuturism—centering imagination, liberation, and cultural knowledge as tools for real-world change.

Expect:

• Future-focused imagination
• Community storytelling & dialogue
• Bold ideas + shared insights
• Actionable visions for connection and belonging

Who Should Join:

Community builders, creatives, educators, organizers, students, and anyone invested in thriving, connected communities.

Black Futures Month honors the legacy of Black imagination. This Dream Tank activates that legacy—building the future together.

Come dream. Come build.

Parking:

Please note, you can park in heARTSpace’s back parking lot. As you arrive at the front of the building, slow down, to the left of the building is an alleyway. Turn right into the alley, and make an immediate right into the parking lot. Parking is first come, first serve: 3 vehicles can fit side-by-side & double parked closest to the building (6 cars total). If the spaces are occupied, you will have to find street parking.

DO NOT PARK IN THE GATED PARKING LOT BEHIND NAILS BY KEVIN, YOU WILL BE TOWED! Their parking lot is dedicated to their patrons only. If you are unsure of which lot you can park in, once you get inside heARTSpace go to the kitchen exit and open the door. That is the dedicated lot (directly behind our building).
