VALUES
Our projects are chronic, just like our pain, our illnesses, our disabilities. We embrace chronicness as a value that means ongoing, lingering, reshaping as our understanding shifts. Our work is chronic: born of slow deep companionship over a lifetime.
Chronic projects
Good Trouble Makers is a collaborative experiment where a community of magical mischief makers come together for a moment, a season, or a lifetime to co-create embodied projects towards the future we all need and deserve.
Everything is a collaboration
Good Trouble Makers wants to fail. At white supremacy, at urgency, at ableism, at cis-heterotivity. We embrace failure as a sign we’re moving away from what we know and towards the unknown we dream of.
We WANT to fail
We understand our work as a sacred site of not leaving each other behind. We celebrate and care fiercely for our own and each other’s d/Disabled bodies and minds. We reschedule, reimagine, and resource each other and our shared spaces however we need each day and everyday.
Crip 4 Crip:
We move at the speed of care
Every Good Trouble Makers project centers the experience of our bodies, their wisdom, and needs.
Everything is embodied
Changing the world must be fun, because the world we’re dreaming is full of fun! We practice joy, fun, and play now, together.
