ACI’S VISION

• We envision a world where many worlds thrive in harmonious relation to each other.

• We envision living beings nurturing cultures of care that liberate all through creative expression.

ACI’S uLTIMATE GOAL

Creative justice is our ultimate goal. Simplified, creative justice is the manifestation of all historically and continuously discriminated against, marginalized, oppressed, and subjugated peoples living creative and expressive lives on their own terms (Cuyler, 2023a; Cuyler, 2023b).

ACI’S VALUES

1) art is a human right

2) art creates cross-cultural understanding, deep and meaningful learning, creative expression, and community building, making it an adaptive tool for social justice

3) change must be fostered at a community contextualized level to be sustainable

4) creative justice requires us to collaboratively work towards equity and liberation
