Open Collective Foundation

<div>CORPUS Family is the intervention apparatus &amp; incubator of the artist-run music platform-label CORPUS. Our agendas are centralized in self-defense, direct action, youth advocacy, collective study and political education. We are motivated by an upkeep of a common struggle and fight for, and by, the people in order to build a conducting hub for strategy and actionable steps against imperialism. We are an arrival zone where the creative message of CORPUS, nurtured by the history of the underbellied subcultures of New York City, can be transmuted into operations for our freedom. </div><div><br />Living on the occupied land of Turtle Island and under the oppressive and infantilizing operation of Capitalism-Imperialism our structure seeks to disrupt those existing socialist conventions. We employ methods under a non-hierarchical consensus basis, while maintaining the importance of strong and self-determined  leadership and organization. Our decision-making mechanisms are built through an intra-organizational leadership committee and its associated limbs per the precision of differentiated engagements. We are continuously developing our own processes to make decisions and amplify marginalized voices in New York City and beyond. </div><div><br />CORPUS Family is concerned with fighting back against the corrupt privatization of New York City through people-power initiatives such as the Blissville Winter Coat Drive, CORPUS Self-Defense, CORPUS Family Studio Residency, coalition support for the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, Burning World Book Club, the CORPUS Family Mutual Aid Fund, organized actions like “Uprising, A March for Black Women,” and more.</div><div><br /></div>

CORPUS Family Sustaining Donors

Blissville is one of the smallest and most underserved neighborhoods in Queens, wedged between Calvary Cemetery, the New Town creek, and the Long Island Expressway. Though it is centrally located, it is largely overlooked by the rest of the city. The community exists in a 4 x 6 block radius that is located between numerous homeless shelters. These ongoing essentials drives will provide monthly drop offs of supplies to our neighbors in blissville.

The CORPUS Family Studio Residency is a bi-annual, week-long program that provides local musicians with 36 hours of free recording time and the use of professional equipment and engineers at CORPUS Studio In Blissville, Queens. Previous residents include Mater Tenenbraum, Dirtbag Marley, and MELLY.

CORPUS Family Quarterly Ad Space

This series is based off an open basement jam session during the week-long CORPUS Distro in June 2019. Local musicians were able to use professional equipment and instruments and meet other young people. Some of the groups formed this day continued to collaborate after, on projects and as bands. The purpose of the series is to give local musicians access to live instruments, professional equipment, rehearsal space, and the resources they need to meet, work and collaborate.
