This week I’m welcoming Common Shapes’ very first guest, Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo.Lukaza (they/them/Lukaza) an artist, abolitionist, educator, storyteller, cultural worker and person of multitudes. Through a practice based in the printed multiple, community-based work and installation building, they invite the viewer to recall and share their own lived narratives, offering power and weight to the creation of a larger dialogue around the telling of B.I.Q.T.P.O.C. (Black, Indigenous, queer, trans, people of color) stories.Listen in to hear us discuss—The web shape for creative workHow to craft a studio practiceClaiming our work as our main income streamHow to weave your values and your activism into your sharing practicesThe radical history of newslettersLinksGet the Creative Ideation PortalSign up for my weekly newsletter, Monday MondayFind all these links & more at marleegrace.space/commonshapesMore from LukazaVisit Lukaza’s websiteFollow Lukaza on InstagramSubscribe to ROOTS WEBS NETS BRANCHES BULLETIN BOARDS.?
