The ideas and benefits of community reveal themselves differently across different circumstances. When IQ references “the community” we are specifically referring to the communities of Black and indigenous people of color who have been historically oppressed. We also understand that humans instinctively form micro-communities that galvanize people together across race, gender, age, or any other intersectional identity or shared lived experiences. These micro communities are essential to our personal development because they afford us a sense of belonging and acceptance.
Goal 5: Strengthen the network of artists and organizations participating in the activities of the ARTS JUSTICE SAFETY COALITION. Outcome 5: New and existing artists will be enabled to build their social capital by being connected with a network of industry professionals and community advocates.
