Sometimes I feel like I’ve imagined my whole worldview into being. I believe in and care deeply about the animacy of the world — meaning that I see many forms of life as having agency and personhood, even if that personhood is very different from my own, and beyond my full understanding. The white, colonial culture I was raised in taught me the opposite, but my attempts to be in an ongoing decolonial process have pushed me towards a more animate, relational worldview. Imagination has been central to that process. The line between ‘imagining’ and ‘seeing something true’ now feel very blurred to me, which I think is exactly as it should be. -Rose Gallogly (CLF)
