Co-Create to Liberate - Radici Studios

At Co-Create to Liberate, we bring the spark of creativity to diversity, equity, and inclusion in schools, workplaces, and communities.

We see paintbrushes as tools for liberation, scissors and tissue paper as a way to reimagine the future, and collage as a means to envision communities filled with belonging and care.

Cultivating Possibility: Creativity as a Catalyst for Change

This new free class is designed for anyone feeling overwhelmed, fed up with broken systems that don’t care well for people and land, or wanting to make change in their community but not sure how. It’s a class for those looking to grow personally and grow collectively and be a part of fostering a more compassionate world.

Through insights, examples, and interactive arts-based exercises you’ll experience for yourself how creativity can lead to greater greater clarity and collective momentum in building the world we dream of.

No art experience necessary. All are welcome!

What people are saying...

"This workshop was organized and creative, gentle and generative. I was struck by the power of their methods to unlock and invite even the most reticent and resistant of our cohort. We made more progress as a group in this 5 hour workshop than in 10+ years of other school related trainings."

-Katherine Riley

Arts Department Chair at The Bay School of San Francisco

Working with Co-Create to Liberate was powerful, child-centered, and responsive to the needs of our educators as we work to offer developmentally appropriate, anti-racist, anti-hate, and anti-bias pedagogy. Their team facilitated our Oakland Unified School District - Early Childhood Education Department of 250 people with flexibility, thoughtfulness, and openness. It opened up new insights for our team and how we work together. We were able to engage in important conversations that haven't been happening at our organization that we continue to reflect on.

If you are thinking about hiring Co-Create to Liberate to consult with your organization - do it! They tailored a series of online workshops for our teachers that blew us away. My only complaint is that we wanted more time to learn with and from them!

It was A-MAZING having you join our event this year. Thanks to you and Steph so much for creating such a lovely environment for the mural and making that bit of magic come true! Everyone loved it, it was for sure a highlight of our event!

"I can't wait to have them back for future training sessions both with our team and with the larger school community. I would recommend them to any school looking to uplevel their culture of equity and inclusion while developing a greater sense of connection to one another and building a sense of belonging among both students and staff at their school."

Faculty

The Bay School of San Francisco

I'm so grateful that I found this course. As an art teacher it feels so important to learn how to approach teaching in a way that is rooted in anti racism, and I learned so much from Jen and other members of the class. Jen shared many helpful books to begin lessons with, a curriculum with depth and richness that builds and progresses beautifully, and many other helpful resources. I will definitely be drawing upon what I've learned in this class for years to come.

Eleanor

Art Teacher

This isn’t just an art class. It feels like a rumbling revolution. I recommend Co-Create to Liberate to anyone who wants to be a responsible human and seeks deeper, sweeter, rounder connection with their children.
