by Harvard Divinity School Religion and Public Life

We are embedded in systems that we take for granted as the way things should be. These are the invisible matrices that discipline us because of the fascination of U.S. politics with carcerality. We have an opportunity for expansive imagination and recreation.

We want to break free, and the arts offer us a way to imagine what freedom could look like. They serve as a moral spotlight, not only exposing current wrongs, but illuminating possible futures. Our goal is explore the arts as an expression of a moral imagination that guide us to more just, equitable futures.
