"Bearing Witness" explores the injustices, trauma, and systemic violence that marginalized communities face every day in this country. How does the exhibition make you feel? Write down the first things that come to mind.
Black Lives Matter's resurgence has sparked more conversations about race in this country than ever before. It has reinforced the necessity of dismantling oppressive white supremacist power structures and signified the importance of facing the truth about our country, learning its histories, and unlearning potentially harmful beliefs and ideologies. What truths have you learned recently? What did you have to unlearn?
We are bearing witness to major political and global shifts that will have long-lasting effects. With this shift, we further realize the value and importance of our relationships and connections to our local, national, and global communities. What does community mean to you? How are you nurturing your connection with your community?
Many of us are feeling uncertain, fearful, angry, and anxious about the current state of the world. These feelings are valid. However, to do the often challenging but necessary social justice work, we must also be intentional about finding and creating joy for ourselves. Audre Lorde once said, "The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference." How are you creating or sharing joy these days?
