In the essay “Chicano Cultural Resistance, a Case Study Across Generations,” Tanya Mote documents the emergence of the Chicano Civil Rights Movement in Denver in the late sixties, and shows how culture, the reclaiming of narratives, and authentic knowledge of lineages grounded and gave power to the tightly knit Mexican American community of Denver’s Westside neighborhood.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in bio to read this essay and others in the “Why Culture Matters to Justice” series.⁠ ⁠ The Culture Justice Initiative (CJI) is a program of the National Performance Network (NPN).⁠ ⁠ Photo credits:⁠ ⁠ Slide 3: Celebration with piñata in historic La Alma.

In the essay “Building a Reparative Framework for Cultural Equity: Redesigning Creative Business Through Solidarity Economy,” Allen Kwabena Frimpong explores how the current creative industrial complex’s autocratic structure uses hierarchies to create bottlenecks, strip artists of their agency, and funnel wealth exclusively upward to elite entities – and why we need to adopt a four-part reparative framework if we want to create cultural equity for systemically oppressed groups.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in bio to read this essay and others in the “Why Culture Matters to Justice” series.⁠ ⁠ The Culture Justice Initiative (CJI) is a program of the National Performance Network (NPN).

In the essay “Experience As a Whole: Expanding the Boundaries of Cultural Strategy,” Evan Bissell explains why we must dissolve the boundaries between culture, politics, and economics if we are to achieve lasting social change. Through the lens of “experience as a whole,” Evan looks at three projects from his own career where “culture is both object and agent of change, and the work intentionally engages the interrelation of economic, political and cultural ways of being.”⁠ ⁠ Click the link in bio to read this essay and others in the “Why Culture Matters to Justice” series.⁠ ⁠ The Culture Justice Initiative (CJI) is a program of the National Performance Network (NPN).

In the essay “What Is Cultural Justice?”, Vanessa Whang discusses how shifting our language from “arts and culture” to “cultures and arts” reorganizes our understanding of the roles these play in moving us towards justice. Vanessa makes visible how the trappings of liberalism have hindered the ability to build cultural strategies to shape a new world.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in bio to read this essay and others in the “Why Culture Matters to Justice” series.⁠ ⁠ The Culture Justice Initiative (CJI) is a program of the National Performance Network (NPN).

Culture, and the artists and cultural workers who help shape it, are an integral part of all revolutionary movements. In “Culture and the Moment,” Sage Crump introduces a new essay series from the Culture Justice Initiative (CJI) called “Why Culture Matters to Justice.” Sage describes the strategies oppressive forces use to keep us in a culture of repression and dominance, and argues that culture is a living, evolving organism that shapes us all and has the capacity to be shaped through intention.⁠ ⁠ The essays in this series are designed to grow our understanding of culture as a force for transformation. Through these works, we hope to provoke dialogue, influence strategy, and deepen practice.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in bio to read “Culture and the Moment” from the “Why Culture Matters to Justice” series.⁠ ⁠ The Culture Justice Initiative (CJI) is a program of the National Performance Network (NPN). You can also find this series on Howlround, Convergence magazine and Landscapes.⁠ ⁠ Pictured on slide seven, from top left: Tanya Mote, muthi reed, Vanessa Whang, and Brandon Black.

✊ Why do algorithms matter for cultural mobility? From favouring who gets seen to shaping access to cross-border opportunities, digital platforms have control over how artists and cultural professionals connect and work internationally. That’s why this topic is on top of our agenda. Is it on top of yours, too? 👀 On 7 October, join Veronika Liebl (Ars Electronica), Rania Majed (Culture Resource) and Jess Partridge (EMMA), moderated by Yohann Floch (On the Move), to unpack these questions at our Cultural Mobility Webinar on Digital Mobility and Algorithmic Justice. 🗓️ 7 October | 14:00–15:30 CEST 🔗 Register via link in bio while you can! Co-funded by the European Union and in collaboration with @howlround.
