Moussa Mchangama (he/him) is the co-founder of the change agency In futurum. He works at the intersection of culture, politics, media, and people, challenging the boundaries of what organizations, foundations, cultural institutions and civil society do, think, can and aspire to —always with a focus on just practices of change, power critique, and creating new spaces of possibility. In 2024, he made his literary debut with 'Tekster om Hjem', published by Politikens Forlag, which explores what it means to belong.
