Abundance makes visible the lived wisdom within all of us. It is a tool to resist the scarcity mindsets that often shape our movements and calls to community.
I’m deeply inspired by the work of artist/educator Kameelah Janan Rasheed. She has this magical way of making the stories embedded in archives come to life. As an educator and researcher, I totally nerd out about the ways she is able to transform exhibition spaces into rich pedagogical experiences. Her 2018 exhibition with The Black School at the New Museum was a game changer for me and shifted what I thought was possible within the confines of a gallery space.
