Learn from inspiring projects from across our network that embody the evolving lenses of our work: Response, Resilience, and Regeneration.
–The filmmakers of Comparsa tell the story of Peronia Adolescente—a vivid youth response effort that confronts systemic violence through art. Their film highlights the transformation of their community, made possible through the courage and creativity of the two sisters.
–The team behind CHIditarod, Chicago’s legendary costumed shopping cart race, will share how they tackle food insecurity with a public spectacle, channeling resources to build community resilience in the process.
–The founders of Replant the Forest will demonstrate their model of regeneration through festivals, restoring degraded land through music, art, and collective action.
These efforts may look wildly different, but they are all similarly driven by community-rooted creativity and share a commitment to transformative action.
Each project reimagines what we can do when play, culture, and purpose intertwine to meet local challenges with solutions, and with celebration, story, and solidarity.
Together, they remind us that this isn’t just about the projects themselves—it’s about the spirit of creativity we bring to solving problems and reimagining the possible.
