Building Bold Futures Over & Under the Radar

Facing increased repression and censorship, cultural workers are at a crossroads. How do we not just resist, but proactively build the world we envision? When we self-censor or succumb to restrictions, what is the true cost to our values and communities? This isn't about defensive reactions; it's about reclaiming our power to act boldly, strategically, and creatively from our core values.

We believe a more just world is not just possible, but imperative. This participatory virtual workshop is an invitation for cultural workers to build solidarity and shared knowledge. Together, we'll explore historical and global examples of "over and under the radar" cultural strategies. We'll learn from each other, share experiences, and collectively brainstorm innovative approaches to build a brave, creative, and just future.

We hope you will leave with:

• New people to build with.
• Inspiring examples of cultural institutions enacting change despite repression.
• New ideas and strategies for values-driven work.

Who’s Facilitating?
Linda Norris, Braden Paynter, and Stacey Garcia joined together to form Creative Futures. We believe real growth happens where challenges, relationships, and new possibilities come together—and that no one should have to figure things out alone. With years of experience and a deep love for people, places, and stories, we help create shared futures built on values, vision, and real impact.
