Why the crow, you ask? Crows and ravens, both members of the Corvus family, carry auspicious mythological histories across cultures. In Norse mythology ravens are spiritual guides, while in Buddhist and Hindu traditions they accompany periods of rebirth and transformation. In Native American stories, the crow teaches lessons of adaptation and survival. And, like witches, crows and ravens are known for their laughter. Please, crow raucously with us in 2024 as we celebrate our resiliency through years of obstacles. We are shape-shifters, beginning again as a nonprofit for art, ecology, and education, becoming a center for collaborative and intra-disciplinary creative practice.
In these pages we announce our 2024 summer intensive residency sessions, a program rooted in 25 years of experimental pedagogies emphasizing collaborative learning, interdisciplinary exchange, and sustainable living practices. The 2024 sessions create space for exploring new modes of teaching / learning / researching / making / being together.
More details on session collaborators and additional events will be announced in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please inquire via email with interest in the summer program, and to help us fund scholarships through academic institutions or private donations.
