Navatman Stands United with The Black Community
We at Navatman stand firmly with the Black community and against the deep injustices of systemic racism, oppression, and violence that the US and individual ignorance has helped perpetuate. Deeply rooted systemic oppression cannot be ignored or glossed over. The humanitarian way to address such issues is to both acknowledge it and take direct community action and responsibility within these spaces.
We at Navatman acknowledge the privilege we hold, and will be leveraging it to support the black community.
While this is continuously changing as we learn more, and move forward, we commit to:
We at Navatman acknowledge the privilege we hold, and will be leveraging it to support the black community.
While this is continuously changing as we learn more, and move forward, we commit to:
- Educating ourselves and our community
- Having conversations, even when difficult
- Listening to our communities and reexamining our processes and internal systems
- Providing a safe space for black artists and students of the Indian classical arts
- Taking action where appropriate using our knowledge as teachers to help navigate these difficult subjects with our students
We know that this is just the start, and pledge to continue this work even after the momentum slows.
