Imagination

In this final episode, Lauren Williams invites her colleagues, comrades and co-conspirators to bring us home, collectively considering all the questions raised so far and confronting the ones they make possible: If worlds have ended before, why can’t this one? Whose imaginaries do we currently inhabit? What enables and restricts our imaginations? How might we permit ourselves to imagine otherwise? This limited series was dreamed up, written and produced by me, Lauren Williams; essays were co-edited by my dear friend Ayinde Jean-Baptiste; and the audio was engineered by Conor Anderson. Excerpts from several references were read by voice actor Joy Vandervort-Cobb. In the excerpt from “Unraveling Harm, Cultivating Safety,” Denise and Sharon were voiced by Lorinda Hawkins Smith. Jonathan was voiced by Erron Allen. Thank you, also, to the interviewees—whose names were changed to protect their identities—and to the Metro Detroit Restorative Justice Network for allowing me to share this preview of the study.
