The idea
Good ideas deserve
a beginning.
The imagination economy begins when somebody gives a possible future a form worth sharing. IMF is our short name for the International Meme Fund cultural publishing concept: a reading room for ideas that deserve more attention.
International Meme Fund is a cultural publishing concept about that circulation of imagination. We want to make the stories, images, and practices of a more generous world easier to encounter, understand, and adapt.
Our lens
What deserves attention.
Circulate the source.
Preserve credit and context as work travels.
Measure the human meaning.
Ask what a story helps someone understand or attempt.
