Words Worth Working Toward
Narrative work allows us to explore not just our stories, but forms and modes of telling them.
Amidst a flurry of poems submitted to one of our digital publications, the Ujima WIRE, a patchwork of words emerged describing how we reckon with frustration, enemies, and regret.
In Words Worth Working Toward, a poetry zine, we share the words we’re working with, working towards, or working against. We aren’t yet where we want to be–this zine largely represents a capsule of tribulations. Yet a glimmer of hope emerges in the end, one path among the many we might take together to get free.
Channel 1: Bliss
We are excited to share our Ujima Day offering for 2023. In celebration of this day, we offer to you a publication we composed with love, Channel 1: Bliss.
In Bliss, we share our daily rituals so that the simple and quotidian can serve as a radical basis for alignment and joy.
Head to this Google form to fill us in on your ideal joy-filled days (and to request a print copy of this publication), and check out this Spotify link to listen to our staff-generated playlist of songs.
Tomashi Jackson: Brown II
With support from Ujima's Ashe Ashe Cultural Assembly Grant, artist Tomashi Jackson organized a community reading and re-release of her publication, Brown II.
The Brown II Book Club was a 5-month reading group which explored histories of educational advocacy, school desegregation, implications of tech policy and algorithms on civil rights, and much more. Jackson worked directly with Ujima staff to distribute physical copies of the publication around Boston, and offered digital copies for non-local participants.
Tomashi Jackson's Brown II project explores the history and legacy of school desegregation in the United States, with a special focus on Boston through artwork and a series of interviews with leading scholars in the field.
