Imani Jacqueline Brown
Imani Jacqueline Brown is an artist, activist, and researcher from New Orleans. Her work investigates the 'continuum of extractivism', which spans from settler-colonial genocide and slavery to fossil fuel production, gentrification, and police and corporate impunity. In exposing the layers of violence and resistance that comprise the foundations of US society, she opens up space to imagine a path to ecological reparations. Imani is currently a researcher with Forensic Architecture, an economic inequality fellow with Open Society Foundations, and the editor of the second issue of MARCH, a journal of art and strategy, themed around Black Ecologies.
