Hope Is a Discipline - Practicing Hope, Living Abolition Now

Grounded in the understanding, drawn from visionary abolitionist organizer Mariame Kaba, that hope is a discipline, this participatory session explores how that commitment shows up in daily life. Facilitated by the curators, the gathering centers care, accountability, resistance, and the relationships that sustain us. Participants are invited to bring a piece of ephemera that reflects Black hope, joy, family, or community, and to share how it connects to the themes of the exhibition.
