The question is, do I want to be an activist, academic or an entrepreneur or a combo of all?

Can you be entrepreneurial about creating space for others to think, play and participate and enlarge their public spaces?
So I’m interested and always have been in the way the physical public space actively invites the imaginative & inclusive ‘what if’ & ‘what could I / we do here’ of the wider public. Not just those sat here on Twitter or in privileged positions
Whether that is the potency of seeing the opportunity afforded of ‘other things happen to what I expected to encounter in this space’
Or inviting people to actively dream differently, giving permission to some degree, about it being their right to dream and imagine and act
And to be encouraged to try their thing out, not squash it, not make it ‘aesthetically on brand’ but to allow space for emergence, for encounters, for muddles, for learning. But openly. Without fear. Of judgement, of ridicule, of arrest, or discrimination.
That’s why ‘play’
