for the first session of 2021, we spent time together building intentions and goals for the space and ourselves, to ground us in manifestations to carry soulful safespace sundays through the year.

this edition of soulful safespace sundays was in collaboration with “because of this,” an exhibition + performance series that reclaimed space and centered the work of local and regional contemporary artists of the African diaspora, while purposefully building a multidisciplinary peer network for BIPOC artists in the midwest region.

“because of this” was hosted and supported by charlotte street foundation in kansas city, mo and was curated by mary lawson, our cofounder.
