redefining the lines drawn to hold us down, keep us silent

 
 

We believe that every person deserves to be seen, heard and valued.

Our work cultivates cultural belonging.

Belonging is fundamental to the human experience.

Cultural belonging is created TOGETHER.

 
 
 
 

What is it to be humanKINDER?

To be humanKINDER is to recognise cultural belonging as a universal human right.

We understand cultural belonging through three relationships :

with ourselves

knowing who we are

remember where we’re from

honouring our stories

with each other

communities built through trust

hospitality

shared experience

with the living world

landscape

food & music

mountains & rivers

 
 
 
 

Our process weaves together four interconnected movements :

 

acknowledge our history

Context matters.

We cannot build belonging without understanding how it has been broken.

build a stage for herstory

We create spaces where silenced voices can be heard and celebrated.

We recognise the importance of autonomy, choice and equity of expression.

 
 

ask questions about our shadows

We remain curious and critical about power, privilege, silence, bias;

our own as well as others’.

never forget to dance

We process, we celebrate, we reset and begin again.

Joy in celebration is not separate from justice.

Joy is evidence that justice is possible
