QC Family Tree’s Culture Bearer Residency is meant to build community by connecting individuals across points of difference; build community by nurturing, celebrating, and supporting authentic cultures and creative expression; increase relevance by using arts, science and history to address complex community issues; and increasing innovation by supporting the creation of new and groundbreaking work. This Culture Bearer Residency program highlights the strong role that artists and culture bearers play as leaders in civic engagement and social change. The program demonstrates how dynamic social change work incorporates arts and culture into efforts to positively shape the community. Former residents include Janelle Dunlap (2017), Hannah Hasan (2018-2021), Hoan Rahlan (2021), Dioveris Lopez (2021), Bunny Gregory (2022), Katrina Cherry (2022), Dawn Anthony (2022), Marcus Burke (2022), Madelyn Hernandez (2022), and Jinna Kim (2022). Applications for the Spring 2023 residency will open mid December. Donate to QC Family Tree in support of this kind of programming: https://linktr.ee/qcfamilytree
QC Family Tree is growing and nurturing a coalition of artists and cultural workers within Charlotte. This “Rhizome” Coalition is made up of artists and cultural workers who create art and engage in social practice that is rooted in communities of place, tradition or spirit. Rhizome members are folks who call for social and economic justice and are working to dismantle all forms of oppression—everywhere. Rhizome members come together to share their art and organizing, learn about others’ work, and build strong local networks. Contact [email protected] if you want to be a part of the growing Rhizome.
