We are...

parents
a multitude
queer and exploring gender identity
working on not being perfectionists
independent arts workers
realists and idealists
mothers
survivors because we were never meant to
Interdependent reworlding via celebratory resistance
thinking

In our practices, we...

enrich experiences of locations everywhere
desire to use & understand technology but sometimes get confused by technology and frustrated by technology
moving with curiosity and joy to explore the boundaries of our work
heal heal heal heal heal
build community
are in play and in practice

We see resistance as...

creative resistance, the acceptable way to say eff this oppressive system, those that built it and those that perpetuate it
trying to interrupt oppressive systems
saying no
amplifying many voices
a way to communicate and express emotions and ways of thinking
finding alternatives and dismantling boundaries
advocating with community

We are concerned by...

cross-disability seen as “sexy” and not always accepted in the justices
the intentional obliviousness of society
how surveillance is baked into our use of tech
abuse of privilege
total reliance on social media
lacking concrete steps so practices aren't as grounded in making material change

We refuse...

to go through routine burnout
to let others tell our story. We write our own narratives
take advantage of cultural discontent to move my artistic practice forward
to deny our gifts
racism, transphobia, sexism, able-ism, sexual harassment
continuation of unpaid labor

We want...

to bring people a sense of play and imagination
to only work on projects we love
more time spent in community
to build our own tables instead of waiting for a seat at someone else's
help create resources for other artists to expand vision
find solutions that are actionable
to be part of networks & movements which can grow together in healthy & communicative ways

We commit to...

Making community interaction a key part of my artistic practice, and not a means to an end
Taking incremental steps
being anti-ableist
being antiracist
listening
a style that is safe for children to consume!!
Regularly questioning how we are perpetuating hierarchical thinking within our actions and words
doing My/OUR part
being less harsh on ourselves while maintaining criticality
breaking through isolation
investing time to build stronger relationships with communities we want to be accountable to
