“Artists are the gatekeepers of truth. We are civilization’s radical voice.” — Paul Robeson
With our second anniversary only one week away, we are spending some time giving space for gratitude and for staying connected to our purpose, which includes an honest look at how we are fulfilling our mission.
Our core belief of providing brave and gracious space is an important one and it sits at the heart of how we curate exhibitions and co-create moments for meaningful dialogue, breaking bread, and sharing truth. YOU...the artists, activists, students, neighbors and community partners...are why this is successful, most of the time. And because so much of our work happens outside our walls, this belief goes where we go. We are certainly not alone in holding this value close and have been inspired by people and organizations that do this well.
So today we are asking ourselves...and you...What role do we play in welcoming the stranger? Are we providing a setting that encourages trust and connection? Do we show up open-minded and with a willingness to collaborate? Are we practicing the deep work of learning...in a public way?
We are trying.
