Message from Board Chair Monique Davis
Monique Davis is Chairperson of the Shift Collective Board of Directors and is also Managing Director for the Center for Art and Public Exchange (CAPE).
As the Board Chair for Shift Collective, I am excited to share our newly developed website which beautifully communicates our mission to support and design community-driven initiatives to boost social, cultural, and resource equity. Shift Collective’s practice of centering community voices as the primary holder of cultural memory is in fact a revolutionary thought that is in opposition to the hierarchical, white supremacist systems present in many of our cultural memory institutions. We are uniquely positioned to help libraries, archives and museums connect with their communities, and build relationships based on mutual respect and reciprocity. These times require us to recognize the devastation that capitalism, racism, and nativism have waged AND to reconcile, rebuild, and restore more just, human centered systems with equity at the center. If you are interested in THAT journey, reach out to us, and let’s get to work.
