What We Do
Art in relationship transforms lives, builds community, examines social constructs, raises critical consciousness, and creates a more just society.
We are resolved
- to create spaces for healing, dialogue, and building community
- to use art to challenge oppression and achieve our collective liberation
- to work with oppressed communities to decolonize and dismantle systems of oppression on our campus and beyond
