Support

 We have come this far because people like you believed that Black, queer, land-based futures are not only possible, but necessary. To keep us steady and on an upward trajectory, we need you with us in this next phase.

Land projects led by Black queer people are often underfunded, over-scrutinized, and expected to “do more with less.” We’re saying no to that logic.

We are building (1) a Black-led agrarian and cultural space that does not disappear after a grant cycle, (2) a teaching ground where queer cultural workers of color learn how to host their own programs on the land, and (3) an ecosystem that can hold it all.

    Activation Residency began as a wild experiment in mutual care and nurturing creativity. Today, it is becoming something even more rare: a Black, queer-led land project building long-term ecological infrastructure so that artists, farmers, and cultural workers alike can live, rest, and make work free from modern day barriers to a better world.


    Activation Residency’s programs are made possible by the generous support of our community members, many individuals including Sara Arno of the Amy P. Goldman Foundation, as well as the Trans Justice Funding Project, Times Square Alliance, TCC Group, Dance/NYC, and the New York Communinty Trust.
