EBONY GUSTAVE & ROBIN BEAN CRANE
Co-Creating Solidarity Economy Art was a participatory art workshop series inviting artists to receive political education, learn about solidarity economy examples, and create work that visualizes tangible alternatives.
About the Artists
Ebony Gustave (she/her) is a web weaver, community architect, and storyteller. She is the host of Cooperative Journal podcast, an archive of interviews highlighting international examples of the solidarity economy. As a co-steward of its multimedia umbrella, she is bridging the gaps between political education, imagination, co-creation, and actualization. The common thread between all of her work is bringing awareness to and activating solutions for collective autonomy, care, and trust.
