The Humble Chair: Fostering Culturally Humble Collaborations

Abstract

The authors recount a collaborative art-making journey centered on self-reflexivity to sustain a partnership across racial, social, and cultural differences. The image of a chair, re-imagined as a Humble Chair, was a symbol to anchor critical inquiry. The authors’ explorations provide a pragmatic and artful approach to fostering cultural humility.
