Participation and Voice

Reimagining Systems

Exploring how cultural, civic, private, and public institutions can collaborate to build systems that are more equitable, sustainable, and accountable. 

Creative Imagination

Recognizing the power of artists and cultural practitioners to envision alternatives, spark dialogue, and move societies toward justice. 

Bridging and Belonging

Building empathy, understanding, and shared purpose across differences to foster trust, inclusion, and collective imagination for better solutions in an interconnected world.
