Ingrid LaFleur, a renowned pleasure activist, dynamic keynote speaker, curator, and worldbuilder, is excited to announce the launch of her new self-guided online course, “Dreamweaving with Dinkinesh.” This unique journey is designed to expand your consciousness into the Afrofuture through a blend of sci-fi/fantasy storytelling and daily prompts that guide you through five portals of liberation and healing over 40 days.
Dreamweaving with Dinkinesh immerses participants in a transformative experience. Each day offers a fresh perspective on the Afrofuture, challenging you to expand your thinking and envision new possibilities. The course encourages a slow, reflective process where participants can move at their own pace, nurturing their minds and creating the necessary shifts to manifest their desired futures. With each daily prompt, you will be oriented deeper into the Afrofuture, continually massaging your mind to think beyond the constraints of the present.
Creating this course was a labor of love for LaFleur, inspired by her passion for collective futures and a deep commitment to fostering liberation and healing. She believes in the power of Afrofuturism to transform our understanding of what is possible, using imaginative storytelling to unlock new realms of thought and action.
LaFleur is celebrated for her innovative contributions across multidisciplinary industries, including art, technology, education, social enterprise, and finance. She has a distinguished record of keynote speeches, panel discussions, and workshops at prestigious venues such as Centre Pompidou in Paris, TEDxBrooklyn, TEDxDetroit, Ideas City, New Museum in New York, Harvard University, and Oxford University. Her thought-provoking work has been featured in notable publications like The New York Times, NPR’s This American Life, and Hyperallergic, among others.
As a curator, LaFleur is dedicated to challenging conventional aesthetics of the future and exposing audiences to diverse future-visioning practices and emerging technologies. She explores how augmented reality, virtual reality, and other innovative tools can be harnessed to imagine and create more inclusive futures. Her recent curatorial work, “Futurisms,” at Virginia Commonwealth University in Doha, Qatar, brought Afrofuturism into conversation with Sci-Fi Sufism and Muslim Futures, demonstrating her commitment to intersectional and expansive future narratives.
Dreamweaving with Dinkinesh is now available online, offering you the opportunity to embark on this transformative journey at any time. Dive into the world of Afrofuturism, and let LaFleur guide you through the portals of liberation and healing. For more information on the course and to start your journey, visit here.
