Conversations
Conversations are at the heart of my disparate practices. As an arts administrator and an artist; as a parent and a partner; as a colleague and a friend; as a global citizen and as a conscious and connected being in relationship with the world around me–it is the conversations, exchanged in words and actions, that make our work and our existences meaningful and which contribute to imagining and creating a better tomorrow.
Considering the land + its people: a kaleidoscope conversation

“For more than five hundred years, Native communities across the Americas have demonstrated resilience and resistance in the face of violent efforts to separate them from their land, culture, and each other.” (source: usdac.us/nativeland). As custodians of space-based programs, how do we contribute to the reparations necessary to indemnify native people from the genocide and colonization so harmful to their communities? Does your organization acknowledge the traditional Native inhabitants of the land when introducing programs? Is this enough? Join c3:initiative in a kaleidoscope conversation as we consider: How do we move beyond sustainability for ourselves and toward reciprocity with the land and its indigenous people? What is responsible? What is enough?
