In partnership with community-based organizations in New York City, We Be Imagining was an effort to co-create a more inclusive knowledge ecosystem—to expand the parameters of what it means to assemble and of who ought to be heard.
Fostering trust in democratic society requires repairing relationships with historically excluded communities and integrating multiple ways of knowing into the reimagining of our institutions.
Subprojects included the WBI Podcast, which examined surveillance, tech, and data policy in the Covid-19 era, Black Siren Radio, a partnership with WKCR that merged Black music and frontline reporting to curate a soundtrack for the current political moment, and the WBI Incubator for experimental digital storytelling and science communication.
Work produced as part of We Be Imagining created a foundation for continued exploration via Logic(s) magazine.
