Mental health + creativity + community - Creative Survival is about how we can connect using the arts and somatic awareness as a response to our ever-intensifying stressful world. Liberation psychology lens, anti-oppressive, neurodiversity affirming

Being a creative is inherently political. If you aren't aware of the influence of your work there is a good chance you are working for the oppressors.

Buy Māori stories. Read them to your tamariki. Teach them the pūrākau of their tīpuna. They are the children of the resistance. Feed their knowledge

Philadelphia Peoplehood Parade is an example of creative survival to me. Communities came together and made puppets and artwork that represents community issues that they care about. Shown here are puppets of animals on bikes, made by a cycling organization concerned about safety

Creative Survival is a philosophy and approach that I use as a therapist and follow in my own life. It's influenced by liberation movements, community organizing, zines, mural art, pageant puppetry, oral traditions, and cultural practices that help us connect to one another and the earth.
