Figure 4. Map of relationships among people, collectives, and spaces at the start of this project. We surfaced these connections in response to the following conversation prompt: Tell a story about an experience you had with someone else in this group that makes you excited they are here today. The green circles are collectives. The purple spaces are lands and institutions elicited by our stories. The lines between us represent connections also elicited by our stories. We understand these existing relationships, some dating back to over a decade, created the conditions of desire, trust, and solidarity for this project.
