Regenerative Practices

Regenerative Practices:How can we make the arts more sustainable? What can we do as individuals to renew our energy and passion? What can we do as a network to support each other? What can we do as leaders of programs and organizations to encourage a healthier arts ecosystem?

2014-15 Regenerative Practices Fellows

2014-15 Regenerative Practices Fellow Project

A workshop

We invited local cultural practitioners – artists, activists, storytellers, healers, and others –  into an exploration of the plurality of regenerative practices that lie at the heart of true sustainability in the arts. The session at EMERGENCE builds off these intimate conversations around regenerative practice with focus points around movement, indigeneity, and diaspora.

This local figures were as follows: Melanie Cervantes, artist; Jack Grey, Rulan Tangen and Uzo Nkem Nwankpa, founder of the Uzo Method; Soad Kader, visual artist, dancer; Ramekon O’Arwisters, social practice artist

During EMERGENCE, participants will be invited into an embodied inquiry about what is regenerative practices that will guide a dialogue about the challenge of defining regenerative practice as a whole. The goal is to empower respectful, inclusive, and culturally competent approaches to regenerative practice within arts and cultural organizations.
