Detroit-based art collective
Complex Movements has spent two years traveling to D.C., Dallas, Seattle, and Miami to share ideas on the intersection of art, science and social justice through a traveling multimedia performance installation called Beware of the Dandelions. In the process, we have learned about the incredible work happening to transform communities in each city and how touring performances can be an organizing and network-weaving process. The Complex Movements Translocal Cohort Network Gathering will bring together artists and organizers from our five host cities to explore the full potential of our performance-based organizing model. We will facilitate dialogue about the similarities, differences, challenges, and successes of local organizing to strengthen and evolve our strategies for arts-based social change.
