The People's Practice is a publication by ThirdSpace Action Lab, a grassroots solutions studio dedicated to anti-racist community development.

I was commissioned to create three illustrations for the publication's website, responding to the questions at the heart of this work: What could a future with anti-racist community development look like? What could it mean to our communities?

The three pieces above are titled Community Safety, Community Dinner, and Community Garden. Through these illustrations, I imagine a world where care, mutual aid, and interdependence form the foundation of how we live together.

Each illustration includes children intentionally. As a mother and a researcher writing on decolonial feminist futures, I think often about how we build new worlds with our young ones. Children bring the bold imagination these futures require. Elders carry the wisdom and memory. In that intergenerational collaboration, I believe, is where transformation becomes possible.
