We Free Us
As a member of the Amplify Arts Alternate Currents Cohort, I had the opportunity to collaborate with other cohort members on a project for a limited edition publication. Our goal was to create a space for critical reflection on the interpretation, documentation, and enactment of justice in the arts. In 2023, our cohort focused on exploring how artists and organizers might align their practices with anti-capitalist principles. Our investigations into the social, economic, and environmental aspects of 'commoning' are reflected in this publication.
Mental and Medical Health Accessibility
This year I took a deeper look into mental and medical health accessibility in Nebraska. I used this as an opportunity to conduct interviews with individuals to create an open conversation. All participants remain anonymous with the permission of a quote used from each conversation. The focus was not only just about mental and medical health perspectives but also an overall thought on accessibility.
I started each interview with open-ended questions. I wanted to keep our conversations broad so participants had the opportunity to speak about other things they may want to express. These interviews highlighted the frustrations that are met when searching for mental and medical health accessibility.
