Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We seek to bring artists and community together for critical conversations and creative spaces that foster healing, particularly for participants whose narratives have historically been silenced or marginalized. When participating individuals report value in the experience we believe we will have succeeded. Participants, Curator, and Lead Artists will have the opportunity within each workshop to identify elements of value and share feedback about the experience. We have found that people feel overwhelmed by surveys and so we have determined that a kinesthetic and active reflection (socio-ometry, story-sharing, and voting) of our work honors the experience best.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We offered over 30 gatherings for community building, healing, and political education online Comments "Hanging out with all you rad people has been some great self care. Thank You!" "MAM is nourishing, connection, and family" "MAM is arts to nurture community and find our inner superhero/powers." "with MAM [I can] find something I can offer." "MAM Collectively reminds me of our/my power."
