The Nest is a site of experimentation & embodied practice, sown together with:
connection: we root into relationship, reciprocity, accountability, generosity & belonging
care: through attention, intention & beauty we tend to the needs & dreams of our community, the Earth and ourselves
craft: we invest in practice that produces collective benefit; we celebrate form & function
adaptation: we experiment, iterate & evolve as a creative strategy for making art and an essential strategy for collective survival
collaboration: our dreams, our work, our communities, & our impact are strengthened through our commitment to build together
we dream
Dreaming is an organizing strategy.
Dreaming is an essential part of the solution.
dreamers are:
-
radical visionaries & transformative agitators
-
innovaative creators, seekers & healers
-
waymakers, culture keepers & weavers
-
people with a vision of a better world who act to bring that world life
change theory
When the radical imagination of Black, Latinx, Asian, Indigenous, Queer & Trans creatives & entrepreneurs is amplified through cultural strategy, the pathway to a collective thriving future is illuminated.
A thriving future where we:
-
are more connected, instead of less
-
hold the tools to adapt to an politically, socially & environmentally evolving world
-
collaborate to craft practices that care for each & the earth without sacrificing either
we create
THE NEST is a dream that has been held and nurtured for years, and maybe lifetimes, by Founder & Executive Creative Director, Leigh Robbie Gaymon-Jones. This first iteration of THE NEST is a direct outgrowth of Leigh Robbie's practice as an interdisciplinary artist, facilitator and community builder. The team of collaborators are creatives Leigh Robbie has been inspired by, many of whom for years. She is thrilled about the ways THE NEST will continue to expand, shift and flourish, shaped by collaboration and partnership with more and more brilliant dreamers.
DREAMING IS BETTER TOGETHER.
