Stories from the first issue revealed powerful narratives of collective action, individual hope and determination. Building on these reflections, we now dare you to imagine with us how agency might unfold in the future.

Imaginaries

// the structures that shape imagination

// set of values, institutions, laws, and symbols through which people imagine their social pluriverse

// formed or characterized imaginatively

How do we cultivate the hope and the courage to imagine futures rooted in care, togetherness, and belonging?

What forms of power emerge when agency is shared and imagined collectively? How can that collective synthesis might affect the individual agency?

What imaginations or practices can disrupt the status quo and enable other futures? How to build courage radically or in other words, How to be gay?

This issue looks toward futures that are fluid and plural, speculative and in the making. We're welcoming contributions that go beyond representation, that experiment and provoke imagination.
