This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.
This quote has always hit hard for me. Toni Morrison wrote it in the aftermath of 9/11. she was speaking to the vital, urgent role of artists during times of crisis, violence, and chaos.
It took me until very recently to consider myself an "artist". I always thought that art was something for the creatives, the musicians, the non-conformists. But art is anything that tells the truth, exposes the illusions, makes you question everything. And these days we all need to be questioning everything.
This is not the time for us to retreat or deny the urge to create and make art. Art is not a luxury, it is a necessity. It helps us process grief, confront truth, imagine new futures, and hold each other through the unspeakable.
And we, the artists, are the workers in the field; hospicing the old world to its end and building a new one from the rubble.

This creative workshop is for artists, makers, and cultural workers who are ready to use their art as a bold intervention in dominant culture. In a world shaped by systems of extraction, erasure, and control, art has the power to reveal truth, spark resistance, and imagine otherwise. Together, we’ll explore how to make work that interrupts the status quo, reclaims stolen narratives, and plants seeds for new futures.
Through movement, writing, dialogue, and collective creation, we will:
- Examine how dominant culture shows up in our creative practices
- Unearth ancestral, liberatory, and subversive artistic lineages
- Reclaim art-making as a political and relational act
- Design creative disruptions rooted in truth-telling, embodiment, and solidarity
- Develop a practice of making that sustains us and builds collective power
This creative incubator includes weekly one-on-one coaching, weekly group movement/metabolizing sessions and 27 days of morning pages (daily journaling prompts sent to your email). It is designed to help you recover the inner artist and make arts that refuses the status quo and reimagines what's possible.
🗓️ Intensive starts July 6th!
