400;">Co-creation is everywhere: It’s how the internet was built; it generated massive prehistoric rock carvings; it powered the development of vaccines for COVID-19 in record time. Co-creation offers alternatives to the idea of the solitary author privileged by top-down media. But co-creation is easy to miss, as individuals often take credit for—and profit from—collective forms of authorship, erasing whole cultures and narratives as they do so. Collective Wisdom offers the first guide to co-creation as a concept and as a practice, tracing co-creation in a media-making that ranges from collaborative journalism to human–AI partnerships.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why co-create—and why now? The many coauthors, drawing on a remarkable array of professional and personal experience, focus on the radical, sustained practices of co-creating media within communities and with social movements. They explore the urgent need for co-creation across disciplines and organization, and the latest methods for collaborating with nonhuman systems in biology and technology. The idea of “collective intelligence” is not new, and has been applied to such disparate phenomena as decision making by consensus and hived insects. Collective wisdom goes further. With conceptual explanation and practical examples, this book shows that co-creation only becomes wise when it is grounded in equity and justice.</span></p></div></div></div></div></div><div

For too long, the stories that circulated about Detroit defined it as broken, violent, and in need of saving from itself. After Detroit’s emergence from bankruptcy in 2014, there was a new strand of stories about Detroit: stories of resurgence led by white billionaires, scrappy entrepreneurs, and pioneering artists. Invisible from that narrative was the Detroit that was saving itself all along, the Detroit that pushed back against marginalization and erasure, the Detroit that had a vision for the future based in liberation and justice. The Detroit Narrative Agency is amplifying <i>that</i> Detroit, incubating authentic and compelling stories that shift the dominant narratives about this place by putting the power of story back in the hands of Black, Indigenous, People of Color. We focus on non-extractive media storytelling, centering and amplifying the voices of our city, and providing skillbuilding opportunities within film and media production with a focus on community impact. DNA also contributes to the growth of the film and media ecosystem in the Detroit area and globally.<div class="bottom_meta"></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_col-sm-1/5 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone " data-padding-pos="all" data-has-bg-color="false" data-bg-color="" data-bg-opacity="1" data-animation="" data-delay="0"><div class="vc_column-inner" ><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="team-member" data-style="bio_fullscreen_alt"><div class="team-member-image"><div class="team-member-image-inner"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://cocreationstudio.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/maori-kamal-holmes.png" width="500" height="500" alt="" /></div></div><div class="team-member-overlay"></div><div class="team-meta"><h5>Coauthor</h5><h3>Maori Karmael Holmes</h3><p></p><div class="nectar-cta" data-color="default" data-using-bg="false" data-style="arrow-animation" data-display="block" data-alignment="left"><span class="link_wrap"><a class="link_text" href="#"><svg class="next-arrow" width="20px" height="25px" viewBox="0 0 50 80" xml:space="preserve"> <polyline stroke="#000000" stroke-width="9" fill="none" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" points="0, 0 45, 40 0, 80"></polyline> </svg><span class="line" style="background-color: #000;"></span> </a></span></div></div><div class="nectar_team_bio_img" data-img-src="https://cocreationstudio.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/maori-kamal-holmes.png"></div><div class="nectar_team_bio">Maori is a curator, filmmaker and writer.
