 o deconstruct—but how do we move beyond our beautiful deconstruction? Wh
 o teaches us to reconstruct? How do we cultivate the muscle of radical ima
 gination needed to dream together beyond fear?” – Adrienne Maree Brown
 \n\nIt’s 2018 and something isn’t right. Or maybe more accurately\, al
 most everything is wrong. The joint powers of imagination and fear have es
 tablished a seemingly untouchable demagogue as the elected leader of the w
 orld’s most powerful empire. He carries out the wishes of the elite whil
 e destroying the dreams\, realities\, and futures of everyone and everythi
 ng else\, including the planet herself.\n\nStandard tactics are proving in
 effective. Fact-checking has been rendered useless. Reason\, unreasonable.
  Imagination\, myth-making\, and stories reign (see alternative facts). Th
 e future of America\, and perhaps the world\, is in the hands of the best 
 storytellers.\n\nThe Resistance is evolving to meet the challenge. How do 
 we build past\, even through fear\, to something more powerful? To… radi
 cal hope? We are one faction of many fighting for the futurewe are writers
 \, thinkers\, and artists using our powers to fight imagination with imagi
 nation. In this 3-day workshop in January\, 2018 we will: learn from the r
 ich ancestry of speculative fiction\, exercise collaborative ideation and 
 world-building\, and create stories and art that may unleash new futures t
 o topple the hegemonic order. Come\, join our schemes.\n\nClick here for m
