BRINGING TOGETHER YOUNG PEOPLE, ARTISTS & CAMPAIGNERS TO DEVELOP CREATIVE RESPONSES TO SOCIAL INJUSTICE.

What we do

Using a model of personal transformation and structural change, to challenge established imbalanced power bases and re-imagine new infrastructures in opposition to capitalism and colonialism.

We build holistic decolonial educational programmes and creative campaigns to foster a catalytic and self-determined community of creative organisers/leaders embedded in and led by the grassroots. Together we work towards and cultivate transformative justice, systemic change and community accountability.

We work collectively to centre the leadership and solutions of the marginalised, to uplift and politicise the role that young people of colour have, to prefigure the world we would like to live in: diverse, just, sustainable, community-led and resilient.

*This theory of change was written as a collective effort with the core team, our long-term collaborators and Shake! participants.*

Idle No More (an extract)
I see the pain and affliction
I see the despise and vicious pride.
I’m now in this time
Not held back, but in my prime.

No more will they stop me from following my heart
No more will they tell me I can’t
No more will they push and I give in
No more will they judge for the colour of my skin.
