The design emerges from the materials and from methods developed to weave two dimensional cloth into three dimensional form. Each jacket is the expression of the collective knowledge of the people involved in its creation. Our business is structured as a worker cooperative and organized around cooperative principles and values. Friends of light founding members are Mae Colburn, Pascale Gatzen, Jessi Highet and Nadia Yaron.   Upcoming Event:  Healing and Care (OFFSITE EVENT)   How do artists ensure that their individual and collective needs are met in order to dream, practice, work on, and return to their projects each day?   Thursday 2/28 from 6-8pm Adaku Utah and Taraneh Fazeli NOTE this event will be held at 151 West 30th Street  # Suite 403, New York, NY 10001   Adaku Utah was raised in Nigeria armed with the legacy of a long line of freedom fighters, farmers, and healers.

The series places artists and educators in intimate conversation about forms of critique, cooperatives, artist-run spaces, healing, and the death of projects. If art making is a lifelong practice of seeking knowledge and producing art in relationship to that knowledge, why wouldn’t students learn to identify and intervene in the systems that they see around them? Why wouldn't we teach students about the political economies of art education and art circulation? Why wouldn’t we invite students to actively fight for the (art) infrastructure they want, and to see it implemented?   The series will culminate in the launch of Making and Being, a multi-platform pedagogical project that offers practices of collaboration, contemplation, and social-ecological analysis for visual artists. Making and Being is a book, a series of videos, a deck of cards, and an interactive website with freely downloadable content created by authors Susan Jahoda and Caroline Woolard with support from Fellow Emilio Martinez Poppe and BFAMFAPhD members Vicky Virgin and Agnes Szanyi.   ____________________________   SCHEDULE ____________________________ Modes of Critique   What modes of critique might foster racial equity in studio art classes at the college level?   Friday 1/18 from 6-8pm Billie Lee and Anthony Romero of the Retooling Critique Working Group Respondent: Eloise Sherrid, filmmaker, The Room of Silence   Billie Lee is an artist, educator, and writer working at the intersection of art, pedagogy, and social change.

Each jacket is the expression of the collective knowledge of the people involved in its creation. Our business is structured as a worker cooperative and organized around cooperative principles and values. Friends of light founding members are Mae Colburn, Pascale Gatzen, Jessi Highet and Nadia Yaron.   ____________________________   Healing and Care (OFFSITE EVENT)   How do artists ensure that their individual and collective needs are met in order to dream, practice, work on, and return to their projects each day?   Thursday 2/28 from 6-8pm Adaku Utah and Taraneh Fazeli NOTE this event will be held at 151 West 30th Street  # Suite 403, New York, NY 10001   Adaku Utah was raised in Nigeria armed with the legacy of a long line of freedom fighters, farmers, and healers.

The chorus for radical action demands a versatile effort: it needs people power, initiative, and funding, but if we're caught between offense and defense, how do we take time to insure the well-being of our most vulnerable communities?   The Laura Flanders show this week features Adaku Utah, founder of healing collective Harriet's Apothecary, and J Bob Alotta, executive director of the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice, which supports grassroots LGBTQ efforts across the globe. Utah and Alotta discuss what healing and healing justice would look like for communities under attack and in particular, for trans women of color and gender non conforming people. It's not enough to fund direct action or leadership training, say our guests; activist organizations have a responsibility to help their concerned communities heal from trauma, and to empower them towards fellowship and autonomy. Adaku Utah is a master herbalist, educator, and artist who is "armed with the legacies of a long line of healers, witches, priestesses and fearless women who refused to shut up." J Bob Alotta is a filmmaker, global activist, and one of the organizers of the Women's March on Washington.
