In “Above the Wind,” one of her last public interviews, Audre Lorde explained what it meant for her to be an artist and intellectual whose poetic work was “part and parcel” of the life of her majority Black community in St. Croix.  Lorde’s theory and practice of what it means to be a community accountable artist and intellectual are the basis of Brilliance Remastered, and a model for scholars, artists and thought leaders who seek to be in ethical, sustainable relationship with the communities they love.  In this online writing workshop, Sista Docta Alexis Pauline Gumbs will lead us through a series of prompts designed to allow us to reflect on our roles in the communities that make us possible.  This session is particularly designed for those who are seeking clarity about their emerging relationships with or work outside of existing academic, arts and non-profit institutions, or who are seeking to deepen the complex work that they are already doing in community, and will include a robust Brilliance Remastered Q&A session for people designing their community accountable practice now.
