In collaboration with Erin Wederbrook from Yellow Room Consulting, Visual thinking strategies (VTS), a widely accepted form of facilitation that engages participants in reiterative dialogue around visual media, has been adapted into a methodology for community building toward liberatory praxis. Adapting VTS within a liberatory framework contextualizes visual media within the broader systems-based perspective and considers the sociopolitical implications ----
This methodology is used in workshops with the goal practicing skills needed for transforming institutions of power into institutions of justice and equity . Most recently, a workshop on VTS for Liberatory Praxis was presented at the New England Museum Association Annual Conference in Newport, RI.
ROYA (2024)
Liberation Ties was an art exhibition featuring seven local artists, activists, and organizers from New England and New York. The exhibition focused on connecting global decolonial struggles between communities of the diaspora and practicing collective reimagining of justice and liberation through photography, painting, and poetry. Artists pieces delved into shared tradition, community resilience and resistance, and cultural storytelling practices.
The exhibition was curated for ROYA with accompanying artist panels and arts-making workshops. For more information, visit ROYA.
The ROYA Commons was an interactive public art installation that explored the community connection to arts and culture across Boston and offered the opportunity to reflect on living experience while practicing future imagining of an equitable and just creative community. The ROYA Commons was installed in three Boston neighborhood locations that engaged different communities in an ongoing dialogue on reimagining arts and culture across the city, fostering community connectedness and equitable transformation, and building access and accessibility.
The ROYA Commons installation was developed for ROYA in partnership with Culture Crate by Nadine Zaza and the City of Boston Mayor’s Office for Arts & Culture (MOAC). For more information, visit ROYA.
