TATANKA will support and model rDEI, radical Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity.
Question: What is rDEI?
Answer: Let’s define the current scope of marginalized groups, to understand how rDEI is not so “radical” after all.
Marginalized groups and communities include Indigenous peoples, Black communities, people of color, enslaved and formerly enslaved descendants, immigrants and refugees, undocumented people, 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, women and girls under patriarchy, people with disabilities, sex workers, neurodivergent people, the Deaf community, people with chronic illness, religious minorities, ethnic minorities, linguistic minorities, caste-oppressed communities, itinerant peoples, formerly incarcerated people, unhoused people, people in poverty, exploited laborers, survivors of abuse and trafficking, anyone facing ageism, youth in state care, orphans, people in war zones, colonized populations, occupied peoples, remote communities, environmental justice communities, people affected by climate displacement, mental health survivors, indigenous language keepers, cultural minorities, stateless people, and anyone systematically excluded from power, safety, dignity, or self-determination by social, economic, political, or historical forces.
TATANKA: A Movement for Change
Embracing diversity, equity and inclusion through the arts is essential in today’s society. TATANKA stands for and models radical diversity, equity, and inclusion, playing a crucial role in empowering diverse voices through collaborative art. By incorporating TATANKA and DEI principles into artistic endeavors, individuals from all backgrounds can have their stories and experiences represented authentically.
Art serves as a powerful medium to foster understanding and appreciation for different cultures, beliefs, and perspectives. Through TATANKA’s embrace of rDEI, artists can create inclusive spaces that celebrate diversity and promote social justice. Collaborative art projects provide opportunities for marginalized groups to share their narratives and challenge existing inequalities.
By embracing TATANKA and rDEI via the arts, we can break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and promote a more inclusive society. Through creativity and collaboration, we can work towards a future where everyone’s voice is heard and valued.
