About this listen

Art.coop invites listeners to Remember the Future together by listening to the stories of artists and culture bearers who know that the practices of the Solidarity Economy are not some new technology, but actually are ways of being in relationship with people and planet that are as old as time. They are our ancestral practices. In this series listeners learn: You don’t have to be a starving artist or a sell out. You can find work where you joyfully live your values and pay the bills. We meet QTBIPOC creatives who are firing their bosses, freeing the land, electing themselves, and building livelihoods based on care, cooperation, mutual aid, and solidarity.

    01: No Starving Artists. No Sellouts.
    Jan 17 2023

    What does it look like when you report to your co-workers, instead of someone up top?

    We hear from cooperative owner and artist Daniel Park, as he talks through the peaks and valleys of cooperative art-making and business ownership – and how your business can be as radical as the art you create.

    02: Great Storytellers Break Spells
    Jan 17 2023

    How can you use creativity to fight the systems that are literally built to stop you from being creative? How can you make your process as radical as the art you make?

    Maddy Clifford, aka MADLines, walks us her music, the importance of political education for artists, and how she uses her creative practice to break the spells of systemic oppression.

    03: Actors Give Back Stolen Land
    Jan 18 2023

    What happens when you not only recognize that you are on stolen land, but then you actually do something about it? Witness the inspiring partnership between a theater company and Indigenous folks, and how they listen, care, and build stability, moving at the speed of trust.

    Enormous gratitude to our guests on this episode, Rhonda Anderson of Ohketeau Cultural Center, and Carlos Uriona from Double Edge Theatre.
