The Center for Liberatory Practice & Poetry’s Values & Practices are a collectively sourced and living set of agreements aimed to ground those of us who gather through the Center within visions for autonomous and liberated communities.
Facilitated by Center Steward, Kimi Hanauer, and co-authored by Center Weavers, Denise Shanté Brown, Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo, Lizania Cruz, Kearra Amaya Gopee, Katie Giritlian, Lo, Georgia McCandlish, Malcolm Peacock, in collaboration with workshop co-facilitator, Luz Orozco, Weaving Our Values & Practices is a newsprint publication that includes the conversations that the Center’s inaugural Values & Practices emerged from and references that offered guidance along the way.
The agreements we produced are meant to be drafted and redrafted every year of the Center’s life, with contributions and insights from folks who are part of the Center’s community. In sharing this inaugural iteration, we hope you’ll join us in naming and practicing liberatory ways of being and working, both within and beyond our emerging Center for Liberatory Practice & Poetry.
