Heart Art

There are many ways to explore and express how racism affects our lives. At its root, the phenomenon of racism is irrational. It is an emotional response to perceived difference.

On the journey from unconsciousness acceptance of the racism embedded in our culture, to awareness, resistance, and active anti-racist ways of living, we experience a range of emotional change. Feelings of anger, guilt, sadness, shame, fear and resentment are all possible, as are feelings of pride, peacefulness, empowerment and delight. The process of becoming anti-racist is generative, as we shape new ways of seeing and being. The work is, at its essence, heart work.

We each come to this journey in our own way. Sharing with others can move us farther down our road and, perhaps, illuminate the path for others. We invite you to share your creative vision and voice here.
