OUR WORK IS CREATIVE AGENCY
Our collective has over 20 years experience working within the non-profit, community development industry. With nearly two decades observing the hierarchal system of 501(C)3 corporation management, we center a new approach to actualizing a safer, healthier planet.
We tap into our memory of innovations employed by our predecessors to survive the natural and manmade environment. And we participate in intimate rituals and ceremonies, making tangible art and felt experiences with our local communities. We share in global dialogues about sacred histories and affirm the sacred work of our kindred communities. We do not engage with the police or other punitive public systems, our public programs are intergenerational and the pleasure of our ancestors, who sacrificed much, is paramount to the direction our work moves.
We’ve linked some of our work here, please note that each project addresses intersectional themes such as Blackness, Indigeneity, migration, climate, gender, reproduction, housing, land and food justice. If you are interested in how any one of our projects addresses social issues that are important to you, please inquire.
We welcome these conversations!
