Our worlds are shaped by forces we rarely see and evidence we rarely hear. We live in a society brimming with knowledge and ideas that never get put to use – not because they aren’t worth trying, but because they’re locked behind jargon and paywalls or spread across communities that rarely talk to each other. Our lives leave little room for in-depth exploration of topics that matter to us, and our systems don’t make it any easier. Despite access to nearly infinite information, access to insight is a lot harder to come by.

Illuminations is an experiment in gathering those insights, bridging perspectives, and inviting people into the center of conversations with the potential to change our worlds.
