Imagine!

It took an explosive and twisted imagination to conjure Auschwitz, or Tiger Cages, or Gaza as a US-owned Riviera. adrienne maree brown writes that “Imagination has people thinking they can go from being poor to a millionaire as part of a shared American dream. Imagination turns brown bombers into terrorists and white bombers into mentally ill victims. Imagination gives us borders, gives us superiority, gives us race as an indicator of capability. I often feel I am trapped inside someone else’s imagination, and I must engage my own imagination in order to break free.” We need to uncouple imagination from toxic individualism and ethnic/nationalistic supremacy. We need to embrace the social imagination, working arm-in-arm and heart-to-heart tp consider worlds that could be or should be, but are not yet—spaces of joy and justice and mutual care for all, powered by love.
