In This Place 2023 season's theme, “Wait, what’s going on?'' is designed to help us to remember the work, determination and social imagination required to bring the issues of our society’s most dishonored contributors into the forefront of the media, demanding their due respect. We believe that such willpower and creativity is required as we usher in a new wave of thought and culture with restorative economics at the center of these imaginings.

Our April theme, “Wait, who am I and am I, we?” Exploring empowering self through the recognition of personal value beyond the framework of capitalism and productivity. How does the absence of self-love manifest in the desire for things outside of us? How have indigenous and Black people approached the relationship between self/worth and relationship with the land as sacred? Where is the sweet spot with healing on a personal level within the context of community wellness, ancestral reverence, and environmental sustainability?
