PLACEHOLDER (interim, pending final imagery): illustrated cover of the Racial Justice x Philanthropy Dialogues for Europe activity book

Project Overview

I co-designed this 5 month learning journey for over 20 European organisations including Robert Bosch Stiftung, Open Society Foundation, European Cultural Foundation among many others. The programme was part of a membership offer by EDGE Funders Alliance to support a deeper understanding of the intersections of structural racism with philanthropic practice.

Project Outcome

We produced a self-guided handbook to support participants through the programme and deliver some internal advocacy on institutional practices. I was invited to support a further conversation with Renata through a separate programme in 2024, through Ariadne's Susan Treadwell Fellowship Programme.

  • Handbook cover: a hand-painted heart sprouting flowers held by reaching hands, titled Planting Seeds for a New World
  • Handbook spread on how European colonial history created philanthropy, with line-drawn mushrooms, skulls and acknowledgements
  • Handbook spread on how the extractive economy relies on racism, with a reclining figure dissolving into plants and seeds
