Each project that we do reflects our commitment to social justice and our belief in the value of shared artistic production. Inspired by groups like The Black Panther and The Young Lords, we set out to create a set of principles to guide our work as a collective. During the winter of 2015-2016 we wrote the first draft of the MPP 8 Principles (or MPP’s 8 Principles). Each principle reflects a particular belief that we aspire to live up to not only in our work as artists, cultural workers, and educators, but as students, family members, community members, and friends.
