"What does an organization valuing repair look like?" Thank you for this resonating invitation to reflect, Liberation Ventures. Arts leaders, especially those in first/only roles, are familiar with the strain of the "passion tax" and the harm possible with leadership models that center extractive ambition without limits. Often, self-care and community care initiatives for stakeholders, staff, or even intentional selection of funders are considered optional “soft programming” that may receive press recognition yet lack supportive integration into the organizational structure. For historically marginalized individuals, maintaining restorative practices amid "grind culture" can be especially challenging. Toni Morrison reminded us all: “I tell my students, 'When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.” Many take this charge seriously at risk to their well-being. Prioritizing ongoing authentic nourishment of staff and community as a daily practice and liberating framework involves proactive communication, systemic repair, trust-building within and alongside your organization, and fostering an authentic care-centered approach where brave conversations are welcome and equity audits, acknowledgment of power dynamics and shared visioning are openly invited. Creative growth can then emerge through systems of belonging cultivated with sustainability and creativity curated in service toward systemic liberation. One of the Practice Wonder workshops I lead for creatives unpacks the concept that cultivating wonder is an act of healing and justice. Personally and professionally, artistic practice by and in service to community-minded care frameworks enriches creative teams, organizations and audiences in narrative change. Behind the campaigns, actions toward repair honors the efforts of professional peers and mentors alike, teams past and future. Each gesture of authentic connection lays the groundwork for sustainable narrative care, repair and, inevitably, a chance for your grandest mission and vision to fully bloom. Healing. Wonder. Care. Repair. The work is the honor to practice. Together. #independentfilm #artworker #healing #dei #lgbtqia
Round out Black History Month by putting Repair in Practice. This exercise, developed by the Reparations Narrative Lab, explores how we can repair harm at the individual, organizational, and institutional levels and how they connect to the larger call for reparations. Consider the ways that anti-Blackness impacts Black folks and imagine how repair can be enacted. In the end, you’ll develop concrete reparatory asks of folks committed to repairing harm done to the Black community. Visit https://lnkd.in/eAMxNkxC to learn more.
