Imagination Infrastructures
Artwork by > Taehyoung Maria Jeon
“The exercise of imagination is dangerous to those who profit from the way things are because it has the power to show that the way things are is not permanent, not universal, not necessary.”
— Ursula Le Guin ― The Wave in the Mind: Talks and Essays on the Writer, the Reader and the Imagination
A long-term investment in growing and maintaining the capacity of communities and institutions to collectively imagine, so that they are able to see, feel and think differently in order to act differently.
There to enable the development, the practices and use of collective imagination.
Infrastructure that exists in multiple forms - both physical and metaphysical, tangible and intangible.
Recognises that collective imagination is a practice that you develop overtime, and therefore our capacity to do so can be strengthened.
Resourcing the conditions for new, plural, and different imaginations to emerge.
A divestment in the status quo, to unsettle the present and open up pathways of possibility.
We’ve expanded on these ideas here.
