Basecamp
Basecamp for Tactical Imaginaries unbuilds and rebuilds cultural infrastructure to collectively confront the urgencies of today.
To meet this moment, in which political, social, economic, and climate crises overlap and amplify each other, requires direct action and intervention. Basecamp radically embodies cultural infrastructure in order to leverage the imagining possible for it. Imagining is central to life in which we convene for resilience, survival, renewal and repair. Basecamp offers itself as site and structure towards intimacy, critique, exploration, possibility, and action.
