Community

(in lak ‘ech, ubuntu)

At That Art Party, we believe in the transformative power of coalition building, where solidarity within communities of color drives our collective liberation. Guided by the enduring spirit of el pueblo unido jamás será vencido, we create spaces where BIPOC adults come together not only to make art but to heal, connect, and rest. Community, for us, is an active commitment to lift each other up, disrupt systems that divide, and amplify the creative voices that shape our future. Together, we embody a resilient unity and a relentless hope that our liberation is bound in each other’s healing.

Radical Imagination

At That Art Party, Radical Imagination is an act of freedom dreaming—a practice inspired by Afro-futurist visions where creativity and liberation intersect. We draw on liberatory design to create spaces that honor ancestral wisdom while empowering BIPOC adults to shape the futures they desire. Through our gatherings, Radical Imagination becomes a collective journey, where art and play allow us to transcend present limitations, nurturing a community that dares to dream—and build—new worlds rooted in justice, joy, and boundless possibility.

Well-Being

At That Art Party, we embrace well-being as a radical act, grounded in the principles of Creative Rest and Rest is Resistance. Inspired by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, we recognize that rest can take the form of childlike wonder and awe. Guided by Tricia Hersey’s teachings, we honor rest as an act of defiance against grind culture, inviting BIPOC adults to reclaim time for reflection, joy, and rejuvenation - it is our birthright. Our rituals are designed to restore not just the body but the creative spirit, nourishing a well-being that fuels personal liberation and community resilience.
