To Everyone Who Held The Thread
A massive Muchas Gracias to everybody who showed up a year out to help set things up, and had to grind when the original plan completely changed.
Thanks to SJAC for opening their doors and proving what an autonomous space can be. Big up to the Anon family for pulling up, holding space, and putting in real work to help out,for showing up with open hearts, holding space, and bringing the warmth and strength that grounded this entire gathering.
It took dozens of hands, and BIG UP to everyone who couldn't be in the space but sent la vibra from a distance, I appreciate y'all.
And yeah, a special sarcastic shoutout to the institutional white-cube galleries who shut their doors in our faces, your rejection pushed us straight into building autonomous, community held spaces that actually matter.
