The CR8TV HOUSE: Transforming Place by Building Radical Community

The CR8TV House, INC. is an intentionally curated community third space inspired by the practice of founder and artist Symphony Swan. In this session participants will be taken on a journey of how Symphony is transforming her childhood home, in a neighborhood in need of love, into a place of belonging for Black and Brown artists. Participants will learn how the CR8TV HOUSE has become a resource to artists, researchers, and other visitors via its community archive, gallery and artist studio space. The objective of this session is to leave participants inspired and ready to rethink how communities can engage with and include artists as active participants in civic engagement and community building.
