Formed in 2021, Donut (named in tribute to Kate Raworth’s book Doughnut Economics) is a community of professional artists committed to understanding how the embedded in our economic system are placing critical amounts of stress on people and the earth. We are exploring ideas and creating a vision for alternate systems in which artists can thrive.
Why 3W Founded Donut
In Donut Think Tank, we teach observational, thinking, and rhetorical skills aimed at empowering members to critically examine and respond effectively to the big challenges of our world.
Structurally, Donut is itself an experiential learning exercise in working through the pure creative process: coming in as a collective, forming an ensemble, and setting off into the unknown by naming a question and discovering our goals as we go along.
It is a multi-layered process geared toward preparing artists to grapple with uncertainty and to become facile with articulating the reality before them, providing insight, supplying vision, and applying pure democratic leadership toward a positive end for all living beings.
