A Political Imagination Workshop applying Future Screenshots to strategic action
After two inspiring offerings of Future Screenshots, Part 1 of Forging Anti-Fascist Futures, we’re excited to move into Part 2: What For? with Mushon Zer-Aviv.
What For? will take place Monday, April 20, 2026 from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET. Learn more below and apply by 5 pm ET on April 17th.
What For?
What if the futures you imagined could tell you where to focus your energy right now? What if your team could move from scattered ideas to shared strategic direction — in a single session?
Part 2: What For? builds directly on Future Screenshots and is designed for teams already working together on a campaign, project, or initiative. Mushon guides groups through an action-oriented process that moves from imagined futures to concrete questions, prioritized opportunities, and real next steps.
Get a taste of what’s to come from Mushon Zer Aviv’s “What For? Applying Future Screenshots to Strategic Action” essay on Medium.
What we’ll do together
The central question running through this 2-hour online workshop is: What for? — not as a challenge, but as a compass. Working from that question, we’ll:
- Generate Screenshots of the present, of future success, of failure, and of inaction
- Extract “How Might We” questions from those futures and cluster them by theme
- Map priorities along the dimensions of energy and time
- Leave with concrete, actionable next steps for your work
This session is specifically designed for teams attending together. If you’re working on a project with colleagues or collaborators and want to come out with clearer strategy and direction, this is for you.
Attendance at Part 1 is highly recommended (but not mandatory) for participating in Part 2. This is a free workshop with limited seats, so participation requires a short application and a commitment of your time and attention. Live attendance is necessary, as this session is highly interactive and personalized. Unlike our other public events, this one won’t be available via recording.
Application now closed. Thank you for your interest.
