About this listen

We often treat imagination like a luxury, but Ruha Benjamin argues it’s a battlefield. In this episode, Sylvia, Kofi, and Laura glimpse into Imagination: A Manifesto to discuss how we can deprogram ourselves from "dominant imaginaries" and start worldbuilding for the collective good. From dismantling oppressive systems to the "quiet acts of rebellion," they explore Benjamin's ideas of how to dream a better world into reality.

Footnote from Kofi: During the discussion on Benjamin's Imagination: A Manifesto, Kofi Adisa misstated the names of Vauhini Vara and Nik Usher, the latter being referred to as 'Nik Turner.'
