Experiments in Imagination

“We are living in the imaginaries of those long gone before us, one day people will be living in the imaginaries we’ve created” – Angela Davis

The work of imagination opens up possibilities to transform our society – to redesign and remake the world together. We need to imagine new futures. Our futures are already being engineered by those in power. Trauma and oppression take away our capacity to vision and build alternatives. We need new imaginations for thriving, just, healthy and dignifying futures otherwise we’ll only get more of the same oppressions. Imagination is radical practice essential to dreaming, building, and designing new ways to be together. In this panel, we hear from people working to implement and experiment with these futures through place and practice.
