What People Are Saying
“This work is not just helping me learn how to recognize and dismantle white supremacy.... this is reordering my DNA as an artist, and showing me how to be a human in a new way.”
— institute participant
“The main idea that bringing in the lightness of artistic expression- and demonstrating how to do this- can provide a different and more accessible entry point to a difficult and painful subject. The small groups that worked on a specific project, with reps for a social justice org, an arts org, someone served by those orgs etc, were extremely helpful for examples of how to approach this.”
— institute participant
“I continue to be so impressed with the richness of the content, the skill of the facilitation. I had been really worried about so much Zoom time, and I didn't feel brain dead at the end of either day - something I have never been able to say after a long Zoom session before. Thank you!”
