IMAGINATIONS KIOSK
ABOUT US
Since 2017, we have shared rehearsals, classes, assemblies, and demonstrations.
Our spaces for conversation are these: a stage, a classroom, an assembly, the streets. As cultural workers, we seek to explore how fictions allow us to imagine alternative futures.
The Imaginations Kiosk is our first artistic project together.
