We Got Us: Women of Color on the Solidarity Economy

Presented by Women of Color in the Arts (WOCA) on June 30, 2021.

“What would a cultural economy be like if we loved Black and indigenous people?” This is the compelling question which drives the recent report, Solidarity Not Charity: Arts and Culture Grantmaking in the Solidarity Economy co-authored by WOCA member Nati Linares of New Economy Coalition, and co-commissioned by WOCA member Nadia Elokdah of Grantmakers in the Arts. Across time and across cultures, women of color have led the transformation of communities through their collaborative work and cooperative economics. In an intimate conversation with two women of color, we’ll discuss some of these innovative models of self-determination and community wealth, and, take an inside look at this illuminating treatise that affirms the critical need for amplifying the work of communities of color. In between, we’ll dialogue about solidarity, resiliency, movement-building, and how women of color are re-envisioning and helping to activate systems change across the field and across the world.

Facilitated by WOCA Founding Director Kaisha S. Johnson
