Work With Us

We use radical imagination as a practice of world-remaking.

Drawing from storytelling’s ancient power to shape what we believe is possible, we craft experiences that bridge ancestral wisdom and emerging possibility—transforming how we relate to time, land, and one another.

Offerings

  • Custom Workshops

    From one-day portals to multi-month journeys, our workshops blend speculative design, embodied foresight, and collective storytelling.

    We guide teams through hands-on worldbuilding and myth-making sessions designed to stretch thinking, root vision in lived experience, and prototype futures grounded in ecological and social care.

    Immersive Installations

    Step inside the story. We design multi-sensory, interactive experiences that make possible futures feel real. These installations become portals—where you don’t just imagine change, you inhabit it.

    Design Fiction & Speculative Artifacts

    We develop provocative concepts, story objects, and prototypes that spark conversation, shift mindsets, and disrupt the boundaries of what’s “realistic.”

    These futures aren’t pitch decks—they’re invitations to reimagine what’s possible.

    Future of X Field Trips

    Our Future of X field trips are curated learning journeys designed to immerse your team in living signals of possible futures—across housing, food systems, health, culture, and climate resilience.

    You’ll step out of the office and into community-led experiments, underground economies, cultural projects, and embodied practices that are actively prototyping the world to come. Each trip is part research, part ritual, part provocation.

    We pair every experience with deep facilitation and sensemaking so you don’t just observe the future—you metabolize it.

    Film & Audio

    We bring futures to life through cinematic storytelling—short films, soundscapes, documentaries, and audio experiences that blend narrative and foresight to move audiences emotionally and imaginatively.

    Game Design & Simulation

    What happens when you live inside a future? Our games and simulations invite you to navigate complex scenarios and practice new systems of care, governance, and power through play.

  • PORTAL X is your organization's gateway to futures beyond the world we know. This isn't traditional futurism – it's a deep dive into collective myth-making and world-building. Through immersive encounters, story-weaving, and artifact creation, we'll help craft detailed visions of regenerative futures that acknowledge our kinship with all life. Think of it as stepping through a portal where new forms of ecological and social relationships aren't just possible – they're already emerging.

  • Embodied Foresight

    This isn’t trend-spotting or scenario decks. This is future sensework rooted in lived experience. We work with communities and institutions to surface the foresight that already exists in the margins—intuition, pattern recognition, ancestral wisdom, and everyday adaptation.

    We then translate that into strategic tools, story frameworks, and cultural prototypes that help you respond not with fear or speed—but with depth, clarity, and care.

  • Ideas that move—story-first and future-facing.

    We deliver keynotes, talks, and panels that combine radical imagination with grounded strategy. From SXSW stages to intimate team offsites, we weave together mythic storytelling, lived experience, and cultural critique to help audiences feel the future—not just intellectualize it.

    Our talks are designed to disrupt stale narratives, ignite new ones, and leave people with a sense of what’s already possible.

  • Radical Imagination Training

    Build your team’s capacity to think beyond crisis.

    This immersive learning experience helps teams and communities develop the creative muscle they need to imagine and move toward just, regenerative futures.

    Using speculative design, embodied foresight, and narrative tools drawn from myth, movement work, and Afrofuturist traditions, we guide participants through a hands-on process of cultural unlearning, story-shifting, and worldbuilding.

    Great for organizations seeking to energize internal change efforts, break through ideological gridlock, or reimagine their work from a place of purpose rather than panic.

    Futurist-in-Residence

    Embed radical foresight into your strategy, culture, and communications.

    Our residency model places a Radical Futures practitioner inside your organization for a set period of time to offer deep foresight, narrative development, and systems strategy.

    We act as a thought partner, provoker, and creative strategist—helping you anticipate future disruptions, articulate transformative visions, and build the internal fluency to align your everyday work with the future you want to help create.
