Announcing "We Be Imagining"
We Be Imagining is a 10-part multimodal series of public programming that infuses academic discourse with the performance arts in order to foster critical conversations around race, gender, class, disability, and technology. In partnership with community-based organizations in New York City, the series represents an effort to co-create a more inclusive knowledge ecosystem—to expand the parameters of what it means to assemble and of who ought to be heard. Fostering trust in democratic society requires repairing relationships with historically excluded communities and integrating multiple ways of knowing into the reimagining of our institutions.
The series is directed by researcher and curator J. Khadijah Abdurahman, with collaboration and support from The American Assembly and INCITE.
A launch party for the series, in collaboration with the Art Start Portrait Project, will be held on Saturday, February 22nd from 6:30-9:30 p.m. All are welcome!
