Imagination State
Welcome to Imagination State — a space to think critically and curiously about how imagination shapes our lives, our systems, and our futures. I'm Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer, illustrator and creative education strategist. Here, I speak with artists, writers, thinkers, teachers, and activists on the frontlines of imagination: people who challenge the forces that shrink our inner worlds and offer us invitations to more enticing and just futures composed of many worldviews.
My great hope with this podcast is that it supports you in the project of our own imagination, helping you see beyond what is and into what could be.
