The Decolonial Toolkit is a straightforward document that addresses the intersection of intercultural creation, colonialism, and climate change. More specifically, the Toolkit aims to help artists consider their own cultural conditioning, confront the inseparability of colonialism and climate change, and develop a decolonial foundation for both the climate art field, and the arts sector more broadly.
TRAction offers facilitation sessions in relation to the Decolonial Toolkit. In these sessions, participants engage with the principles outlined in the Toolkit through hands-on activities. These activities – which include in-depth discussions, physical and written exercises, and artistic responses – offer participants the opportunity to address personal and cultural perspectives on safe space, privilege, binary thinking, white supremacy culture, Indigenous sovereignty, human-land relationships, the role of discomfort, and more. In particular, these workshops support participants in their efforts to understand decolonial approaches to art-making and and how art-making can be a strategy for social and environmental transformation. Workshops can be booked for 1.5 and 3 hour sessions.
