The volume builds upon five years of national organizing by Arts in a Changing America, an artist-led initiative that challenges structural racism by centering people of color who are leading innovation at the nexus of arts production, community benefit, and social change. \u003ci\u003eFUTURE\/PRESENT\u003c\/i\u003e includes a range of essays and criticism, visual and performance art, artist manifestos, interviews, poetry, and reflections on community practice. Throughout, contributors examine issues of placekeeping and belonging, migration and diasporas, the carceral state, renegotiating relationships with land, ancestral knowledge as radical futurity, and shifting paradigms of inequity. Foregrounding the powerful resilience of communities of color, \u003ci\u003eFUTURE\/PRESENT\u003c\/i\u003e advances the role of artists as first responders to injustices, creative stewards in the cohesion and health of communities, and innovative strategists for equity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Selected contributors.
