1.02: Origins: How it all began

First, Tim and Tuesday discuss where the work of systems change and equity began for each of them, and how has it shifted over the years. What would a typical project look like ten years ago, and for who was the typical client? How did they get paid to do this work? Wrapping up, Tim talks about the impact of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed.

Next, Tim and Tuesday talk about the significance of who they are as a unit: Why ‘The Outside’? What does a typical project look like? At what point do people pick up the phone and call us to come in? How does work begin for us? How do we begin?

For our PRACTICES segment, we ask: what’s keeping you sane?

Each episode will have a song or poem of the week that feels integral to the work. This week, it’s a poem by Sarah La Rosa from her book Her Strange Angels:

The way to find a measure of solace in the place of unknowing

Of waiting

On the verge of deep waters

Is to remember that we are equipped with the ability to float

Water is out natural state

We had our beginnings in a sacred sea

And so returning to that vast ocean does not have to be scary and unknown

It could be more like going home.
