Overview
Kaitlin Pomerantz will facilitate participatory workshops with leaders in land-back and reparations initiatives to collect text and visuals that interrogate value, labor, and care. These materials will then be combined with Kaitlin’s botanical redesigns of U.S. currency that turn the dollar into a space of rewilded resilience for a printed booklet that will act as a catalyst and practical guide toward alternative economies. This project will center dialogue with Indigenous and reparations organizers and will culminate with a printed publication for broad distribution and community education.
