Cartographies of the Imagination
Cartographies of the Imagination names the contours and the expansive precisions that will braid together all of our projects between 2026-2029. Under the spiraling of galactic clusters, washed by the anonymous waves of the obscure and indistinct, and listening intently to the signatures of plants and the geo-semiotic tremors of stones, we will—with many partners in many places—compose new cartographies for emerging practices of the (non)human. We work toward our goals both tangibly and conceptually across the senses, feeling and thinking. Interweaving dance and theater, philosophy and literature, painting and project-based learning, we imagine our way forward, sometimes sluggishly and sometimes at the infinite speed of thought. Together, we will shape experiential and experimental maps, catalyzed by the expansive precisions of the imagination, through Mobile Assemblies and Ensembles of Innovation that differentially weave through people, places, and multiple ways of wayfaring.
