Providing innovative event solutions
December 2024
Afrofuturism Dream Tanks are vibrant creative spaces inspired by Ubuntu Theory! Here, we harness the power of multimedia content to explore exciting visions of the future. Using Appreciative Inquiry, we foster aspirational co-creation, empowering everyone to thrive together. In this unique experience, we'll integrate cutting-edge artificial intelligence to enhance visualization and planning, making our dreams more tangible than ever!
About Us
Dive into a realm of knowledge and creativity at Grioneers. We use gamification and the principle of edutainment to expand opportunities and knowledge in an organic way. Our outcomes include connecting participants with purpose and pathways for long and near term future success. Careers, businesses, and collaborations have all been born and enhanced in our spaces. We specialize in hosting events, workshops, seminars, and trips that revolve around science, technology, science fiction, comic books, art, social justice, and Afrofuturism. Our diverse offerings cater to all age groups, providing a platform for learning and exploration.
A huge thank you to everyone who jumped on board to help us spread the incredible movement of Afrofuturism across the globe!
In Amsterdam, we were thrilled to help produce the very first Afrofuturism Summit in the Netherlands and support the Vreden brothers as they launched their exciting Kickstarter Campaign for their graphic novel, Rise of the Mafu.
We also had the amazing opportunity to participate behind the scenes at the inaugural Afrofuturism Congress with 27 inspiring leaders from the Black Speculative Arts Movement worldwide!
MISSION:
Use Afrofuturism as a framework that leverages history as well as the present to inform visions of the future (as well as the past and the present) and encourage participants to reverse engineer pathways toward actions that lead most closely to desired future states.
VISION:
An inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future in which humanity is thriving.

Sankofa - It is never too late to go back and fix it. Past, present, and future are intertwined.
