Our Programs
Community Art Making
We are deeply in community and can be found in many places - in streets, schools and at rallies and protests singing, art-making, storytelling, creating community murals, or hanging peaceribbons. Art and education is always integrated into our annual Juneteenth Celebration and Black August Programs.
Protest Songs
Listen to Hand in Hand by Jayanthi Kyle , MAM steward.
Power Tree Quilts
The Power Tree represents the framework for MAM. It’s a community art making project connecting communities by giving them a tangible place to share stories, uplift narratives, honor loved ones, process grief, and imagine liberation.
Power Gatherings
A series of workshops that integrate art-making and critical conversation with multidisciplinary artists and interested community members around key revolutionary principles central to Black liberation. Due to COVID these are on hold and have been replaced by our sowing sessions.
Sowing Sessions
Virtual meeting spaces for communities to gather, learn, and build with each other. Each session has a featured artist presenter - often a MAM steward! Topics have included transformative justice, anti-Asian media study, Black August, intersectionality and Seeding Liberation Storytelling.
Community Speaks Chalkboards
A community space to hold our individual and collective voices and more at protests, occupations, and community gathering events. Chalkboards are currently installed at include Black Table Arts, Moon Palace, George Floyd Square and near Brooklyn Center Community Center.
Covid Comfort Care Kit
We collaborated with local labor organizers to lead virtual mutual aid training and a resource tool emerged that was made available for households to prepare during the time of COVID. Additional resources here.
Mutual Aid/Food Distribution
We team up with members of Gospel Temple church to distribute food to the community.
