Statement of Commitment to Promoting Racial and Social Justice
As a collective of artists and curators, Transmitter (both as a group and individually) is committed to promoting racial and social justice in whatever capacity we can. We acknowledge the ancestral and living stewards of the Lenapehoking lands on which we organize, create, and live. We acknowledge our own ancestors and history of colonialism, slavery, and genocide. We stand in solidarity with Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, and the Palestinian community, and with organizers and collective protests that fight for justice. We support the creation of a just ecosystem that dismantles white supremacy and imperialist violence. We pledge to follow in this ongoing and urgent fight.
