The Uncovery Praxis
Reclaiming Value — a lecture-demo series for artists and makers
The survival skills you had to master out of necessity are advanced operational frameworks. This series proves it.
A paced, monthly series of virtual lecture-demos from Colibrita Productions on redefining value, escaping fight-or-flight economics, and building sovereign artistic livelihoods. Honest, somatic, slow. Non-punitive. Anti-hustle.
THE PREMISE
We are taught that care work, emotional labor, resourcefulness, and the daily craft of surviving without a safety net are "just what you do" — invisible, unpaid, unvalued. This series takes that assumption apart. Drawing on feminist economics, disability justice, and socially-engaged art, each session turns lived survival skill into named, claimable, monetizable craft.
This is not a hustle-culture content treadmill. One paced session a month. Come as you are.
THE ARC — SIX SESSIONS
1. Redefining Value — the skills you were told don't count (launching August 27)
2. Room for Error — planning that survives a nervous system
3. Entitlement & Self-Advocacy — unlearning "grateful for crumbs"
4. Art as Experience, Not Commodity — the philosophical pivot
5. Peer-to-Peer Survival Models — the lineage: The Hologram, solidarity economy, art commoning
6. From Scarcity to Sovereignty — the capstone: build your own methodology
Each session: 75 minutes, virtual. Lecture-demo + guided reflection + a downloadable worksheet. Drop into any one, or follow the whole path.
PRICING THAT MODELS THE VALUES
Sliding scale, self-selected, no proof required. Every session holds pay-what-you-can / $0 seats so financially compromised artists — the exact people this is for — are never gatekept. A pay-it-forward tier for those with means quietly funds the free seats.
Pay What You Can $0 · Community $15 · Standard $30 · Pay It Forward $45
SUPPORT THE WORK
Behind this public series is ongoing research and recovery-centered practice: peer-support methodology for neurodivergent artists, developed slowly and safely. Spaces built for our nervous systems are lifesaving — not a luxury. Your support funds free seats, access needs, materials, and the unfunded labor of building non-extractive alternatives.
