In my role at Politics in Motion, I film & edit podcasts for Gravediggers Unite and Cultural Counterpower. I also refreshed the branding, motion graphics and web page.

In this first episode of Cultural Counterpower, Laura discusses the relationship between art and the ways we imagine the world around us. She delves into the powerful forces that have narrowed the public imaginary and how they neatly dovetail with the traditional functions of cultural institutions. By connecting the dots between how museums are funded and the highly specific interests and ideals they often serve, she makes a compelling proposal for undoing these inequitable conditions towards a more generous and generative cultural sphere.

Laura Raicovich is an advocate for art that embraces complexity, poetics, and care to foster a more just civic realm.
