Colectivo Moriviví: The 2021 GIA Conference Artist
Colectivo Moriviví is the 2021 GIA Conference artist. Moriviví is a collective of young female artists, based in Puerto Rico, working on public art since April 2013. The mural Libre y Peligrosa, present throughout GIA’s conference, tackles the evolution of Puerto Rican consciousness on feminist issues and how music becomes a tool of resistance. “Libre y Peligrosa” is a plena song by the all-female political pleneras Plena Combativa. The mural portrays activists from the plena group and Colectivo Ilé, an organization focused on anti-racist work. Learn about their work here.
New Podcast! “Coronavirus Response: Where are they now?”
As GIA reflects over the past year, we cannot help but look back at the work and recommendations that so many funders offered when we launched our coronavirus response programming in 2020. The conversation and insight that was shared with the GIA community ignited and energized funders to begin and continue their support for individual artists and arts organizations. But what has happened since then? We are glad to welcome back Laura Aden Packer (Howard Gillman Foundation) and James Hafferman (CERF+) to the GIA podcast. They will share how things have been going since began our coronavirus response programming in Spring 2020. Click here to listen!

Tomorrow! “Surviving a Pandemic: From emergency response to best practice” webinar
Over a year after the pandemic took a harsh toll on our communities, we have seen funders exercise trust and solidarity in their emergency responses by making monumental shifts in their practices. This is a great opportunity to explore and transform emergency practice into best practice as we reimagine the possibilities of supporting communities. Don’t miss our webinar tomorrow in which Eddie Torres (Grantmakers in the Arts); Dr. Mary T. Basset (Harvard School of Public Health); Gary Steuer (Bonfils-Stanton Foundation); and Tempestt Hazel (The Field Foundation); will discuss how they are reimagining funding for their grantees.
