 Welcome to Recipes for Creative Community Building. For over a decade, the Laundromat Project has worked with artists to ignite the collective power of their diverse communities to solve challenges and create positive change. Over the years, we've tested a recipe for change and Creative Community Building. I'm going to share with you the four ingredient recipes that we've found has been key to our success. First, we start our recipe with people power. A key ingredient to the collaborative work needed to make change happen. Bringing this recipe to life requires creative catalysts, connectors to bring unconventional perspectives and creative solutions to challenges and situations. And the base of this recipe, what really holds it together, is our communities. And the extra kick, the ingredient that really sets this recipe off, is propelled by love. Love is a radical and essential tool of power and protests. Love propels us and we embrace it. Here at the Laundromat Project, we've tested and adapted our recipe for over a decade. So when your recipe for change is getting stuck or missing something, use this recipe to make it happen. Check out the Laundromat Project on social media and hashtag the LP Recipe.
