Future Selves In-Person Playshop: Designing Who You're Becoming
Get ready to dive deep into your future self at the playshop - it's all about designing who you want to become!
What if the version of you you’ve been dreaming of is already waiting—just a few pages, a few brushstrokes, a few breaths ahead of now?
The Future Selves Playshop is an afternoon of art, reflection, and imagination for Black women, Black non-binary and women of mixed Black heritage to meet the person they’re becoming.
Together, we’ll turn paper, fabric, and colour into portals — creating visual stories that honour who we’ve been and call in who we’re becoming.
This isn’t about perfection or productivity. It’s about presence.
It’s about trusting the quiet voice that says, I’m still here.
Through guided reflection, collage, and conversation, you’ll build a piece of art that captures your Future Self — a mirror of your intentions for 2026 and beyond.
After the session, we’ll reconnect in one month for a gentle follow-up call to explore what’s shifted, what’s unfolded, and how your artwork has continued to guide you.
Because becoming takes time.
And beauty lives in the in-between.
Join us:
- In-Person: Saturday 13 December | 2 – 5 PM | The Africa Centre, London | £75 | 20 seats
Bring an image of yourself (optional)
Food and drinks will be provided to keep us nourished as we create.
This experience will also be documented through photography and short film to capture the atmosphere and transformation of the day — both for Birungi’s creative archive and for your own keepsake, should you wish to be part of that visual memory. Participation in filming or photography is entirely optional, with care and consent at every stage.
Each Future Selves session leaves its own kind of magic — quiet breakthroughs, rediscovered joy, and a sense of becoming whole again. Here’s what past participants have shared:
Dawn, from the Black Women Kindness Initiative, reflected on how the experience unfolded over time:
“We’ve had three sessions with Birungi and I feel my creative side beginning to blossom, particularly after the second one. I’ve realised new talents and I’m so excited about that. I’m starting to explore poetry, even thinking about open mic sessions — things I never had the confidence to do before. Birungi’s lit a light in me, and in my colleagues too. People are saying, ‘I can do this, I can be creative.’ It’s very exciting times — there’s something in the air."
As a parting gift, you’ll receive a FREE Future Self journal emailed to you. It’s the same practice I use every day to slow down, listen inward, and notice the small shifts that show me who I’m becoming.
This is your invitation to pause, create, and remember yourself again.
Let’s create a moment your future self will thank you for.
