Our Values
• BIPOC SΛNCTUΛRY
We value the intellect and cultural wisdom that resides in multifaceted lived experience of BIPOC people.
• EXPRESSION & LIBERATION
We honor the physical space as a place to incubate the idea of personal, collective liberation and cultural artistic expression.
• JOY & SOLIDARITY
We seek the transformative and emergent complex conversations between communities of color, and the multidimensional thick solidarity that impact us all.
History
In 2020, the SΛNCTUΛRY was developed by a group of working artists and community leaders to bring analysis to complex racial issues facing the dance field and the greater arts community. That same year, PUSH developed a partnership with the Community Arts Stabilization Trust to create a physical space where artists can develop innovative ideas and restorative dance practices through a new home and BIPOC Sanctuary.
