Building Capacity with Tiffany Wong
Episode description
Tiffany is an artist whose work is centered on liberation. Through her painting, writing, and music, she leads with so much love for humanity. She reminds us that hope is a discipline, no different to the discipline and practice that goes into any creative process.
We talk about what it means to truly be in community, and how challenging this can be while we are beholden to existing in oppressive systems. Tiffany challenges the model minority myth (and even made a T-shirt!) and how this separation of marginalized identities creates and upholds harm.
Our conversation also dives into lots of feelings, from collective horror as we bear witness to what is happening in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, and elsewhere in the world to the impact of unhealed trauma to how we imagine and create a more sustainable world. Tiffany talks about the importance of building the capacity to hold our heartbreaks alongside our hope — together.
