Imagine we are a global network of critical academics, curious students, adventurous professionals, passionate activists, gifted amateurs and close friends. //Radical design +extradisciplinary praxis. Social and environmental justice +decolonisation of knowledge and the public sphere. *Since 2002 (Happy 22th birthday!)

Love: Conflict: Imagination

This is a special book. A lovingly designed publication in between a zine and a small book presents the best works from our 2010 Memefest festival. Love: Conflict: Imagination was the theme, the provocation framed around two Flaming Lips songs: the Yeah Yeah Yeah song and I Can Be a Frog. The contributions to this publication are particularly inspired, uplifting and colorful.
