How did you use money?
Money was used to pay for basic recurring expenses of utilities shared by the collective including publication printing costs, Zoom, Google drive storage space, website domain fees, and Vimeo.
What challenges did you face during 2022? What did your Collective learn? How did you change or grow?
The biggest challenges were budget and burnout. Our collective learned to focus on self-care and grow into a more sustainable practice.
Through series of workshops we were able to practice our experimental approach to public speaking and sharing. Prior participants became co-organizers. This process created an archive of new tools and methodologies that we can continue developing and deepening in our future collaborations.
What are your plans for 2023? Anything exciting coming up?
Hekler will launch the 3rd Assembly and debut a summer school program.
