We come to the work of social justice from a unique perspective and approach, bringing our creativity, teaching artistry and community development work into play.

Tina LaPadula and Daemond Arrindell have been facilitating racial equity and social justice workshops as a team since 2014, as representatives of Arts Corps, working with schools, community partners and arts & cultural organizations around Seattle.

As culturally responsive teaching artists, we constantly re-address the needs within our classroom communities to create and maintain safer spaces for our students to show up in all their identities.

Collaborators are artists, activists, teachers, students, administrators, professionals... or, more likely, many of these.
