Regina’s Door | Beloved: An Insistence
We exist to bequeath and present visual beauty to the Beloved who are currently being seared by the brutalizing grip of child sex trafficking. In doing so, we utilize city streets and sidewalks as our foundation to install garden altars, lighting design, street pole art, sidewalk art, and murals.

Displacement & Homelessness

Collaborating with the East Oakland Collective to create and install a physical archive of stories of families displaced from West & East Oakland to stimulate and curate a local and national conversation on housing and displacement among those most affected by gentrification.


Documenting Trauma-Informed Action & Healing 

Through the Artist As First Responder multi-media platform, research and document the activist work and creative arts platforms and offerings of local, national, and international Culture Makers/Keepers, Artists and Freedom/Justice Workers

Partner with community and philanthropic partners to design and publish a series of zines that highlight the creative labor of local, national and international Artists whose arts practices heal communities and save lives.

Utilize the research gathered and #AAFR to help create, actualize, and strengthen collective artivist initiatives addressing the needs of Girls and Womxn of Color in other cities.
