Imagining America is proud to announce the 2026 cohort for the IA Regional Collaboratories. IA staff reviewed many excellent submissions and we thank all who shared their visions as part of the call for proposals. We selected eight projects that examine how the work of imagining and practices of imagination are critical to organizing personal, institutional, and societal transformation.
The session is open to the entire IA community, and will be hosted by PAGE Fellow Leah Friedman, and IA Communications Director Anuj Vaidya. We invite you to come with your own questions, suggestions for actions, tools, and resources, so that we may establish a community of practice specifically within the IA community, to collectively transition to technologies and platforms that hold privacy, security, and community connection at their core.
For this season of IA Storyshare, we brought together participants from the most recent 2025 IA National Gathering at Las Cruces, NM. In this third episode of the season, theater practitioners/educators Lizzy Cooper Davis and Ural Grant talk about inter-disciplinary practice, working across silos, what sustains them in this work.
