Storytelling for Collective Healing Application Form 

Restorative Justice Initiative and Conspiring for Good are collaborating on a creative endeavor, “Storytelling for Collective Healing.”  We are reaching out to invite you to recommend potential participants.  

We are looking for: 

1. Up to five people who have a personal story they want to share publicly that addresses themes related to personal transformation, taking accountability for harm, and healing and rebuilding relationships in the wake of conflict or harm.  These people will want to work on developing their stories and collaborating with an artist to share their story in a medium of their choice.

2. Up to five artists who are interested in using their chosen medium to amplify and provide both nuance and mass appeal for these stories.

3. A videographer with a passion for social media to help promote aspects of the project

All selected artists and storytellers will be compensated for their time and efforts on this collaboration! The ideal participants will understand that:

1. The project will be iterative so participants should be comfortable with co-creation and shifting expectations.

2. The purpose of this project is to develop creative content that will shift perspectives on justice, accountability and healing among people who might be new to restorative justice concepts.

3. The stories and the artwork will evolve and be shared widely.

We want to be tender with each other, with our stories, and with the work of our artists. We hope to move at the pace of trust with this program and build a space that not only creates art together but does so with an ethic of care and consideration for one another and our work. Applications are due on a rolling basis with preference to those located in the New York City area until December 9th, 2022... we look forward to hearing from you!
