About the event
Join us for this Community Conversation Café! 🎨
Join us for a public gathering celebrating the culmination of Imagining Otherwise, Civic Imagination Lab’s youth-led futures program. Over the past months, participants have explored storytelling, systems change, and collective world-building, asking bold questions about care, justice, belonging, and the futures we want to create together.
This café-style event invites community members to experience youth-created works, engage in thoughtful dialogue, and contribute to a shared “imagination space” for our city. Through interactive installations, creative reflections, and guided conversation, we’ll move beyond simply discussing problems and toward collectively envisioning possibility.
Whether you’re a young person, elder, artist, policymaker, neighbour, or simply curious — you’re warmly invited to listen, connect, and imagine otherwise with us. Light refreshments will be provided.
