ABOUT

In partnership with Americans for the Arts, rootoftwo is developing a comprehensive set of tools and resources to support cultural planners, intermediaries, funders, artists, activists, and organizers in crafting and designing locally led cultural assets initiatives that center community priorities. Cultural asset mapping provides opportunities for communities to identify and mobilize existing strengths both tangible and intangible. Our work is designed to inform strategies and identify opportunities for asset mapping and asset-based approaches for recovery, renewal, and reimagining efforts which center racial equity and the valuing of marginalized communities within urban, suburban, rural, and tribal geographies.

Cultural asset mapping and similar asset-based approaches are most successfully carried out when they are done in participatory and generative contexts to re-conceptualize communities and cultural assets as resourceful, resilient, and cohesive. The aim is to increase and redistribute resources, skills and investments towards the preservation and enhancement of cultural assets identified as community priorities.

If you are interested in learning more and perhaps participating in future focus groups or workshops, please fill in the requested information. At the end of this section, we will also prompt you to suggest yourself or others for interview and case study opportunities related to this project. The deadline for these suggestions in February 9, 2022.

We believe that language and identity go hand in hand and are key and vital to how we name and organize in community. We will be using the term BIPOC to represent Black, Indigenous, People of Color as well as Communities of Color. While this does not fully encompass or represent the complicated and multi-layered nature of indigeneity or ethnic and racial identities, it is the most commonly used term in our work – we invite and encourage you to examine and explore the terms used in your community and that are important and valued by individuals you interact with, support and engage.

We would like to be as mindful as possible of systemic, structural and personal forms of exclusion and oppression, as we develop this initiative. If you would like to add to our understanding, please indicate the most aligned language by which you identify. If you prefer not to answer, please write N/A. *

For example: race, ethnicity, indigeneity, language, disability/ability, age, gender identity, sexual identity, nationality, education, class, religious or spiritual practice, worldview, political identification, parental status or family situation.

If you would like to be considered for interview and case study opportunities, please give us some indication of your work on or experience with cultural asset mapping or asset-based approaches. *
