Upcoming Keynote
Wednesday, January 14, 2026 12-1:30PM EST
Facing increased repression and censorship, cultural workers are at a crossroads. How do we not just resist, but proactively build the world we envision? When we self-censor or succumb to restrictions, what is the true cost to our values and communities? This isn't about defensive reactions; it's about reclaiming our power to act boldly, strategically, and creatively from our core values.
We believe a more just world is not just possible, but imperative. This participatory virtual workshop is an invitation for cultural workers to build solidarity and shared knowledge. Together, we'll explore historical and global examples of "over and under the radar" cultural strategies. We'll learn from each other, share experiences, and collectively brainstorm innovative approaches to build a brave, creative, and just future.
We hope you will leave with:
New people to build with.
Inspiring examples of cultural institutions enacting change despite repression.
New ideas and strategies for values-driven work.
What’s the Cost?
Free or pay what you can- suggestion of $10.

Good Neighbors During Slow & Fast Disasters
Thursday, September 18, 2025 1-2:30PM EDT
Communities are better able to face disasters when their cultural institutions take an active role in building resilience. In recent years cultural organizations have made an impact responding to fast disasters like fires and floods. It is equally important that they help respond to “slow disasters”, things like gentrification and climate change. This workshop will bring cultural workers together to learn and share about how they have responded to slow and fast disasters, and how we can better support resilient communities.
