⚡Revolutionary narrative and cultural power building are central to social change. Thank you to Chiara K. Cattaneo and all the contributors for their visionary approach! The Center for Cultural Power, Global Narrative Hive, Nebula Fund, Our Collective Practice Mandy Van Deven.
This past April, The Constellations Culture Change Fund & Initiative, along with philanthropic strategist and narrative expert Mandy Van Deven, Global Narrative Hive, Nebula Fund, and Our Collective Practice facilitated a conversation with global funders at the Human Rights Funders Network (HRFN) Funding Futures Festival on the power of resourcing revolutionary narrative and cultural power building. Since its launch in 2022, Constellations has continued to grow based upon an emergent strategy led by community artists, culture bearers, and cultural strategists, who partnered with philanthropy to resource BIPOC narrative and cultural power. Each day we are called to action by the regions we serve and are guided by a network of collective wisdom to help us institute narrative change practices as strategic priorities in an ever-changing world. Constellations Lead, Erin Lynn Williams, encourages a radical approach to resource redistribution. In this article, she is quoted saying, “We are learning that funding through a narrative system can act as a North Star that guides us to de-silo areas of work and functions as intersectional inspiration.” Read more from Erin and her co-collaborators at the Funding Futures Festival: https://lnkd.in/gguQabQq #ConstellationsFund #StoriesToChangeTheWorld #BIPOCNarrativePower #HRFunders #NebulaFund
