Catalyst Initiative ROUND 3

Jasmin Cardenas, theatre artist, activist and community organizer worked with Ana Romero, Tim Bell and the members of Chicago Workers’ Collaborative, which advocates and organizes for temporary workers in the Chicago region. Their work together focused on how tools of theatre can empower temporary workers to express themselves about workplace abuses and create collective strategies to organize against real life challenges. Their story over a year of collaboration is one of building trust, creating bilingual collaborative environments, identifying shared values, and learning how to adjust when the desire for participation is greater than the capacity to share.
