Insurgent Imagination
Insurgent Imagination explores creative arts through a revolutionary lens. We dive into works of radical storytelling to explore how art inspires and supports the Movement for collective liberation and how the Movement informs artists. We examine work from the past, present, and future, and reflect on their meaning with artists and revolutionary organizers from around the world. Hosted by Katie Petitt and Mayuran Tiruchelvam
