InSite's equity methodology is rooted in cultural change.  We believe that our ability to change oppressive structures must start with our ability to imagine more playful, just, and thriving social futures.  Key to this work is collaborating with artists and cultural workers to shape new linguist and symbolic meaning-making strategies to scaffold these imaginative possibilities. The strength of the artist is to deviate from normal expectations, to create something new, as means of exploration into the dynamic of power.  The creative impulse requires an intentional rupture of the status quo. At InSite, we seek this rupture where we are able to think anew, outside of or away from disciplined expectations. We consider the place of rupture, deviation, disruption as a life-giving space.  Like equitable practices, the creative and equitable act necessitate a break with the status quo in hopes of a new imagination making possible a more unruly future. 
For each project we undertake, from housing rights to public safety, from building codes to voter's rights, our first priority is to work with artists, cultural organizers to understand the imaginative possibilities that are already emerging outside of institutional restrictions. We travel across borders, convene communities of practice, work with Museums and Galleries, and support individual artists and cultural workers to co-lead our projects.
