As artists and cultural workers we can challenge overly-determined analyses of power derived from scarce resources like wealth, political office, race, gender, age, and education. We provide alternative, creative toolkits to build sustainable, democratic communities using abundant resources. Often we are first responders to complex social issues because imagination is critical to divesting from and seeing beyond failing systems. The projects we lead are evolutionary, iterative, sustainable, impactful, and engaged. Our work can illuminate sites of hope.
In order to do this work all our collaborations resource and prioritize artists and creatives who are:
“Emerging” : May have a robust online following but are unknown to mainstream media
“In Need” : Will tangibly benefit from additional exposure, resources, and networks
“Marginalized” : We prioritize collaborators who are women, people of color, LGBTQ, low-income and other marginalized individuals
“Balanced” : For every high-profile/well-connected artist taking part in a publication/exhibition/intervention, we also have an artist who is emerging/in need of support
