Imagination State
Welcome to Imagination State, with Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer. This is a podcast about imagination: how it shapes our lives, our world, and our futures. You’ll hear from people on the frontlines of imagination: artists, writers, thinkers, activists - teachers of all kinds - who stand up to the forces that shrink our inner worlds, who open us to richer, more just futures, and who remind us that building imagination is also a form of liberation.
Imagination State
Goodbye Heart Gallery, hello Imagination State
Hello again, and a warm welcome to new listeners! This is the first episode of a new season and, in a way, the first chapter of an entirely new story. Old friends will remember The Heart Gallery; now, we’ve stepped out into the wider - and wilder? - landscape of the imagination.
In this short opening episode, I share the tale of a matrescence-sparked imagination awakening, the first beginning of a curriculum experiment drawn from works of those on the imagination frontlines, and a glimpse of what’s to come this season.

- Krista Tippet, On Being pod, & Adrienne Maree Brown's On Radical Imagination and Moving Towards Life.
