Imagine That! is a participatory art project that invites participants to create shapes representing their visions for the city and place them on a magnetic board. Through this symbolic gesture, individual ideas coalesce into a critical and affirmative collective expression of what the city is and what it could be.

Special thanks to Mariana Mogilevich and Alicia Botero for their invaluable feedback and suggestions. The seed concept for this activity was originally co-developed with artist and researcher Sam Holleran in 2016 for our collaborative project We Call This Place Home.

Imagine That! was presented at the Urban Omnibus 15th Anniversary Party in June 2024 in New York, NY, and as part of Chapman Steamer Arts’ Arts in the Park! 2024 program in July 2024 in Newburgh, NY.
