We Value These//

I created We Value These// as part of the Rolodex Project//, a civic art project and interactive installation exploring the topic of leadership in Southeast Alaskan communities. Participants were asked to select one quality they value in a leader and create a gesture to represent it. Together, these gestures are a collaborative dance showcasing leadership qualities valued by Southeast Alaskan community members. Shown are: Listening, Reaching Behind to Bring Others Forward, Strength, Teamwork, Listening, Stepping Forward, Listening To Yourself; Listening To Others, Pushing Others to Leap Forward; Catching Them When They Do, Stepping Outside of Normal, Bending to Lift Others Up, Gratitude, Magnanimity, Boldness & Bravery, Collaboration By Listening, Humor, Vision, Collaboration, Inclusivity, Stoicism, Action, Thoughtfulness, Compassion, Optimism, Joyfulness, Strength, Empowerment, Encouraging Others, Cooperation, Wisdom, Starting From the Bottom; Growing.
