Just Praxis Circle Fellows Kick-off

Just Praxis Cohort Welcome Meeting and Resource Pooling Teach-In
$0.00

Note: This event is for prospective BIPOC creatives and arts administrators interested in forming part of the Just Praxis Circle for 2025

During this time we will welcome new members of the Just Praxis 2025 cohort, a group comprising BIPOC artists and creatives engaging in community-based artistic practice. In 2025, we will revisit a community-created definition of justice and engage in creative rest practices. We will also have a teach-in with Ethan Viets-Van Lear around the practice of resourceful pooling. The Just Praxis Circle endeavors to further equip a field of leaders with the tools needed to engage in creative practice in a way that advances justice and helps us all imagine a future without white supremacy.

When: Saturday, April 26th
