Creating Change Virtual Roundtables

Decolonization and the Arts

Tuesday, December 12, 2023 | 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM

This roundtable session led by Tara Moses and Annalisa Dias co-founders and thought leaders of Groundwater Arts, will introduce foundational learnings about colonization, how it shows up in the arts field, and how we can work to decolonize our practices.

Groundwater Arts braids together new ideas, living knowledge, and immediate strategies to bring the arts and culture field to the decolonized and climate-just future faster.
Like mangrove tree roots, we are adaptable, committed to protecting frontline communities, and ready to face the biggest challenges of our time.

This session was not recorded. We encourage you to check out other offerings from Groundwater Arts at their website: https://www.groundwaterarts.com/workshops.html
