"So we can build processes and relationships forward that are equitable, justice centered and decolonized, rather than stay in systems and experiences that perpetuate violence and extraction."- Emily Johnson

Dear Art Lovers, 

We’re in the final stretch of what might be the worst year anyone can remember, and grateful for the community that has buoyed us through 2020. As inspiration for this letter, I’m listening to the raucous, joyful, jangly 1967 Tremeloes album, Even the Bad Times are Good. Feels apt. 

Below is a talkback/Q+A with 600 HIGHWAYMEN and our Artistic Director, Rachel Cook

RACHEL COOK: I’ve been thinking about these themes as part of your work, can you tell me how you relate to these words and if they resonate to you with what you are making now? Collaboration / Collectivity / Being-ness / Belonging
