Ruha Benjamin on IMAGINATION: A MANIFESTO

“My writing is always trying to open that up and to say — you can start here; you can start now.” 

Imagination: A Manifesto by Ruha Benjamin reminds us that our imaginations already know what a better world looks like. From education to challenging our systems of oppression and more, this insightful work shows a new place for us all to start from. Benjamin joins us to talk about the split between imagination and technology, changing our narratives to tell new stories, the importance of community and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over. 

This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Executive Producer Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.
