What if we could design “screenshots” from futures that don’t exist yet?
What if we used imagined futures like these to stretch our political imagination, clarify what’s possible, and build stronger solidarity in the present?
Imagining the future is difficult, but it is our job, as those committed to making it happen. We need to dream up a way forward, create opportunities, and lead others on the path.
Join us for
Forging Anti-Fascist Futures:
A Political Imagination Workshop

What are “Future Screenshots”?
The examples in this workshop are fictional. Future Screenshots are imagined artifacts from possible futures, designed as if they appeared on someone’s screen.
Developed by Mushon Zer-Aviv, Future Screenshots is a method to challenge the present, stretch our political imagination, and inspire co-resistance and transformative activism.
The methodology is simple: envision a future, imagine it appearing on someone’s screen, and choose one of many screenshot templates to sketch it. A Future Screenshot might look like a chat, a map, a headline, or an AI prompt–offering a glimpse of a future that’s probable, possible, or even preposterous.
What we’ll do together
In this initial 2-hour online workshop, we’ll focus primarily on generating and mapping screenshots:
- Generate multiple Future Screenshots (hopeful, dreadful, and everything in between)
- Map them on the online Futures Cone (from probable to possible to preposterous)
- Notice how people react to different futures, and what those reactions reveal
- Briefly bridge back to the present (with the possibility of a future follow-up for deeper strategy work
Who is this for?
This is for advocates, artists, organizers, educators, funders, and anyone who wants to practice political imagination, especially if the present can feel like a closed future.
The thousands of Future Screenshots developed so far don’t just tell stories; they serve as landmarks for political imagination. They define our affordances for action in the present and help us chart a path forward, together.
