Over the first three months of 2020, our community explored many topics within the Relationship Between Culture + Environment. We gathered with Kay Tita for a Resilience Lab, exploring what a resilient community looks like in times of both slow disasters (ie. widening institutional inequities) and fast disasters (such as the immediate devastation from a major hurricane event).

We brought multiple generations of friends and family together at Lucky Envelope Brewing to discuss the similarities and differences in how each generation envisions prosperity and equity, as well as the compounding effects of intergenerational trauma. The escalating impacts of the coronavirus pandemic shifted our focus in March to the many correlations between COVID-19 and climate change.

 To conclude last quarters theme, Culture & Environment, “Master of the Storm”, showcases distinct illustrations referencing the ‘dragon gates’ that cross between worlds as metaphor in breaking through the barriers of xenophobia, dissonance, and isolationwe have been experiencing recently.
