Description:
Toolkit for Cooperative, Collective, & Collaborative Cultural Work explores the challenges of collective cultural work and shares processes, advice, and resources on overcoming various cultural, financial, and structural obstacles. In centering collective working methods that are so counter to the ideologies and frameworks that are encountered daily in a capitalist society, Toolkit aims to honor and embrace our fundamental interconnectivity and interdependence as human beings. Toolkit is initiated and composed by Kimi Hanauer using notes, transcriptions, and audio recordings from the workshops and additional research. Toolkit is edited by Lu Zhang and copyedited by Rebekah Kirkman. The digital publication is designed and engineered by Eleni Agapis and the print publication is designed by Kimi Hanauer.
