In this workshop, we’ll share examples, struggles, and strategies that Creative Interventions (CI) used in developing a model for addressing interpersonal violence without relying on state-based or social service approaches. Drawing from CI’s Community-Based Interventions pilot project, we’ll explore the context of community accountability from which CI’s model developed, think through different ways in which community-based responses to harm and violence have been used and give participants hands-on opportunities to imagine how they might respond to the kinds of violence facing their own communities
