We are deeply grateful to our partners and advisors for their support of Flowerings: Phase 1 (2019-2021), and look forward to continued friendship and collaboration as mutual interests may unfold during Flowerings: Phase 2 (2022-2026).
SHIFT Collective
We are grateful to our partners SHIFT Collective (Bergis Jules, Lynette Johnson, and Jon Voss), who consulted with us, conducted stakeholder group interviews, and planned a key retreat event. Read more about it in their case study about our work together.
Reparative Archives Workshop
JMU is grateful to Lae’l Hughes-Watkins for facilitating a day-long Reparative Archives Workshop attended by JMU faculty and staff from academic departments, Libraries, and Furious Flower. The workshop fostered deep conversations across academic units about shared aspirations for our work. We are striving to further develop and put into practice a reparative and integrated model for library support of a living, academic center for the arts as part of our Flowerings partnership.
Flowerings Project Advisory Committee
The Flowerings Project Advisory Committee serves as a panel of consultants and guides as we explore our areas of inquiry based on their expertise in Black poetry, special collections and audiovisual archives, digital humanities, library spaces, and educational technology.
