From This Year's Call for Proposals

Improvisation lives in the ruins of what has been broken and still dares to imagine what might be built next. In its most radical form, it is essential to reparative justice and worldbuilding. Both instant and enduring: improvisation is a fleeting gesture that can open the door to permanent transformations. Those who improvise know that violence is ongoing, that collapse is real. Yet they dare to believe that creativity, play, and collaboration are lifelines. 
 
A change is gonna come. But what do we do in the meantime? This conference implores us to dwell in the meantime.
