our kind of people
Deconstructing implicit bias in our daily lives and systems of authority.
Our Kind of People includes a series of images, videos, and stories that create nuanced conversations about how identity affects our lived experiences. This awareness and analysis becomes tools for challenging bias, facilitating education, and promoting social justice.
THIS IS NOT A GUN
creative activism and embodied learning to process racial profiling, systemic violence, and collective trauma.
A sandwich is not a gun. A hairbrush is not a gun. A wallet is not a gun. Since the year 2000, United States police have mistaken at least 38 distinct objects as guns during shootings of a majority of young black American men. None of the victims were armed.
