Membership
Heterodox individuals building the territorial state craft niche
The Membership gathers the people behind the most significant contributions across all four of Liminal's core operative means. Members are doers that think for themselves and adapt at the speed at which situations move. They come from disciplines and institutions of all kinds, but are bound together by a shared ambition: to transform the spaces they operate within through the emergent art of Territorial State Craft. Members embody the long-game attitude that characterizes Liminal, working tirelessly inside current incentive systems to build the institutions that the next ones will run on.
