November 15, 2024 @ 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM
About
After 6 months of dedicated work, one-on-one sessions with mentors, and peer support during monthly creative co-working sessions, we’re excited to invite our community to “Pathways to Liberation: Artwork of Struggle, Joy, and Resistance,” a showcase of all the creative work and talent from our first-ever Artist Activist Fellowship program.
In June, Vigilant Love welcomed an incredible cohort of 10 young, emerging artists from BIPOC communities with a desire to create art that connects to abolitionist movements, community care, and healing justice. Through the Artist Activist Fellowship, we paired each fellow with an Artist Activist Mentor, a phenomenal group of BIPOC singers, songwriters, filmmakers, visual artists, painters, crafters, and more who believe in the power of strengths-based mentorship and political art. Join us for a powerful evening with hors d’oeuvres, drinks provided by Saffron Cowboy Coffee, and a program showcasing a wide range of political themes including: Longing for home in diaspora Preservation of Black lineages and familial archives Resource theft from the global South Violence and liberation within the university encampments for Palestine The joy, stories, and meaning found in cultural objects Lived experiences of border violence, Indigeneity, and self-and-ancestral discovery Historical foraging practices of Black Americans and Indigenous peoples in Tongva and Chumash lands The intersections of mass incarceration and colonialism The war in Sudan through the lens of familial grief Struggle and resistance from Turtle Island to Palestine & much more.
