#101 Change Begins in Art (with Ken Liu, Tochi Onyebuchi, and Ray Nayler)

The Wonder Dome

Back for our second episode of the Summer Celebration Series are Ken Liu, Tochi Onyebuchi, and Ray Nayler. All three of these writers add so much depth and richness to the tapestry of our lives. When you leave this conversation today, I encourage you to listen to my other interviews with them and to read their work. Their writing has the potential to change your relationship to what's possible for the future of our species.
Ursula K. Le Guin said that “Change begins in art.” The divine rights of kings seemed to be a permanent fact of reality until artists, philosophers, and activists imagined something else. Imagination was the precursor to social change. In the same way, we will not end the suffering, inequities, and impoverishment of our global society until we can imagine something else.
Ken, Tochi, and Ray are doing that imaginative work, each in their own beautiful way. Their work confronts the brutality of our societies while also amplifying and deepening the beauty of existence. Our conversation is a rich, deep, and joyful exploration of these themes.
