Artists Designing Evolution

Artists Designing Evolution (adé PROJECT), uses art as a vehicle to actualize equity, spark creative inquiry + reclaim the narrative. Whether you are seeking a culturally-rich travel experience, thought-provoking learning journeys, creative intervention, youth leadership programs, or a network for change makers, there are many flavors under the guise of adé PROJECT – the flagship artist residency of Cortina Jenelle Caldwell (+ guest artists and cooperators as often as possible!). To this end, we embody principles of cooperation with a five point theory of change – creative facilitation, entrepreneurship, service, training + education and storytelling. Organizing spaces in circle with other artists, educators, facilitators, young leaders, community farmers and historians has been a cornerstone of success. Our vision is liberation. This living archive has been cooperatively formed in order to stay responsive to the community and the needs of the times. Art is our RESPONSE.
