Staff Pick! So says…
Reading Experiments in Imagining Otherwise is like sharing a glimpse of your most brilliant, generous friend and comrade’s notebook as she traces conversations in meetings, woven with paragraphs from unwritten essays, poems, erasures, short stories, offerings, ways forward, gifts. Writing of the moment in the moment and so full of pasts and futures because of that. Not so much a manifesto as a making-manifest. The circle on the cover is perfect: this is an open text, one that asks you to jump in the middle, make connections, and live its truths about organising by imagining, and vice versa. Olufemi is one of the most exciting writers in the UK today, and this book is a blessing.
