Cultural advocacy includes practices, methodologies and strategies that combine arts, culture, and interdisciplinary research to advance advocacy efforts.
At the core of cultural advocacy is the creation of artistic projects informed by insights from fields beyond the arts (such as sociology, psychology, history, economics, medicine, science, and technology). This interdisciplinary approach enables practitioners to address root causes of social challenges with evidence-based, data-driven strategies.
Public imagination includes practices, frameworks, and methodologies designed to harness the collective imagination and innovative spirit of leaders, communities and organizations; making space for the development of bold solutions with the power to accelerate social progress.
By creating inclusive spaces where ideas are welcomed and valued, new pathways toward sustainable social change can emerge. Public imagination practices empower change makers to envision initiatives that challenge dominant narratives and reimagine the systems and structures that sustain inequity.
