The Public is built on over fifteen years of love and care that we continue to invest in, offering experiences that are as relational and thoughtful as they are critical and groundbreaking. We are a team of activists, creatives, and friends, and for us, the personal is always political. Our work continues to be informed by our lived experiences as queer and/or racialized people.

We are not just committed to ethical, sustainable and liberatory practices; we are defined by them. We challenge dominant power structures and opt, instead, to work in ways that are transformational, creative, generative and nourishing. We are very present in the communities that we work in and with, and strive to make a positive impact on their cultures, environments and economies.

Our co-creative projects combine popular education with co-design methodology and trauma-informed facilitation to build skills and produce inspiring and impactful work. Our workshops are joyful, hands-on, and uniquely designed to meet the needs of the participants. We co-create with people at all skill levels, including seniors, kids, teens, and folks with various literacy levels.

The Public wants what our clients want; whether that’s eradicating gender-based violence, fighting for labour rights, or combating homophobia, we’re devoted to creating materials that support and amplify your vision for a better world.
