Through intimate gatherings, communal prompts, creative rituals, and collaborative storytelling, the project invites people to reflect on the narratives that have shaped them—those they've inherited, resisted, rewritten, or are still learning to understand.THEME: CRAFTWhat is the role of craft in an age of mass production, algorithmic design, and digital overload? In this gathering, we’ll explore the meaning of craft, including the historical role that craft has played in community survival, culture, and collective knowledge. We’ll discuss the modern return to craftsmanship and the role it can play in weaving the more beautiful future that we ache for. And we’ll share personal anecdotes and acknowledgements of what craft means to us, and how we want to incorporate it into our lives moving forward.LOCATIONThis month’s gathering is held in collaboration with Marta Elena Cortez-Neavel, founder of Futurekind Studio.Futurekind Studio is an independent creative studio based in Austin, Texas that values community, diversity, sustainability, and inclusion in all aspects of life, art, and design.
