Imagenation, a Harlem-based organization, was
established in 1997 to counteract negative images and
stereotypes that are propagated about people of
color, through mass media; and, to establish a chain of
independent art-house cinemas. Imagenation uses
independent cinema and progressive music to foster
solidarity and cross-cultural exchange throughout
the African Diaspora, with special focus on the USA
and South Africa.
