Chimera Projects dives deep.
Grief as the rebuilding of community. Gardening as revolution. Dioramas as vessels for the unacceptable. Chimera Projects uses creative practices to investigate, report on, and transform issues that matter. We aim to amplify voices not always heard, including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ voices. Dive deep with us!

In 2016, Facebook calculated that humans were now 3.46 degrees, not 6.0 degrees, of separation from each other. How does that affect our ideas of community? What does it mean to change community in this digital era?
Lee is investigating how people define community and work to create change. What inspires change-makers to make change? How do they start, and how do they keep going? How do they see their work fitting in with their idea of what community is, and what a community should be? What does community mean in a pandemic world?
