Cultivating the Generative Gaze of the Forgotten and Excluded
Imagine a global community where the rights of all people are respected and protected, and where shanty towns are replaced with environmentally sustainable housing and aesthetically pleasing gardens. Envision a world where no one is hungry and healthcare, education, and right livelihood are clearly in evidence. We are capable of bringing this vision into manifestation by committing to living within just, sustainable systems. I coined the term “generative gaze” as a way of capturing and conveying the resources fashioned by my Ancestors, enslaved Africans, and Native Americans to offer creative insights, practices, and medicine to heal our broken world.
