Humanity is losing hope, hurtling headlong into the dystopic nightmares fed to us by mainstream media and a tiny, fragile, exclusive group of elitist megalomaniacs. the stories we are offered are sterile, disjointed and monolithic; causing fear, hopelessness, and inaction. in the past, as black folks, often the only thing we had was our collective dream of a more beautiful future. And it got us free. But we’ve stopped dreaming together.

we need time and space to dream, imagine, build, and embody new possibilities. We DESPERATELY need images, STORIES, and experiences of more beautiful FUTURES; the futures desired by Our communities.

Intelligent Mischief is a creative studio that uses ART, stories, and experiences to cultivate the much needed space & time for dreaming together again and for co-creating the more beautiful worlds our hearts know are possible.

INTELLIGENT MISCHIEF’s PURPOSE IS TO boost invention and imagination, realign action logic and experiment with new forms of culture and civil society to create atmospheres of change.

WE UNLEASH BLACK IMAGINATION TO SHAPE THE FUTURE.

INTELLIGENT MISCHIEF dreams of A global archipelago of Black utopias, an autonomous, interdependent, SPECULATIVE, REAL, & SURREALIST constellation of places & SPACES where ALL black folks are thriving, EUPHORIC, sovereign, and free.

INTELLIGENT MISCHIEF IS a mood.
INTELLIGENT MISCHIEF IS a scene.
INTELLIGENT MISCHIEF IS a wave.
