WHO WE ARE
Public Assistants are an enclave of interdisciplinary creators--a brave space for QTBIPOC to develop our collective understanding as a means of self-sustenance. A space for us and by us to skill-share, create, and cultivate joy. When we have the resources and community care needed to flourish beyond survival, the possibilities are limitless.
In the spirit of those before us, we seek to counter systemic inequity and neglect with solutions that are guided by creativity and community.
Through comprehensive services, outreach, education, and programming, we respond to the needs of those around us, and come from the communities we serve.
Capabilities include:
- Banners, sets, and media for protest and direct action
- Murals
- Radio Broadcast
- Visual media (painting/drawing/photo/video)
- Garment design
- Sustainable green design
- Research and archive
- Art/creative direction
- Styling
- Production and set design
- Music and Performance
