Beyond Views

while we appreciate the acknowledgment of these view count milestones, Calling Up Justice looks beyond views as a sole indicator of success. The capitalist nature of social media platforms, the potential manipulation of metrics, and the challenges faced by certain creators all contribute to our skepticism. We believe that genuine engagement, meaningful interactions, and the positive impact we create hold greater significance than mere view counts.

Glass Cliff

The glass cliff phenomenon refers to a trend in which women and members of marginalized or underrepresented groups are more likely to be appointed to leadership positions in organizations during times of crisis, instability, or when the probability of failure is high. In these situations, individuals who assume leadership roles may face more challenging and precarious circumstances compared to their counterparts who are appointed to leadership in more stable and successful periods.

Crip Time, Resilience Staffing, and Succession Planning

Calling Up Justice, a transmedia social justice arts organization, is dedicated to creating fair systems both internally and in collaboration with other institutions. We understand the increasing instability faced by our communities and partners due to the pandemic, economic uncertainties, and growing aggression against marginalized groups. Society often assumes specific abilities, and arts organizations demand non-stop work as if they expect superhuman abilities. To counteract these challenges, we prioritize crip time as a guiding principle in our scheduling and staffing. We also implement resilience staffing to ensure that multiple people can fulfill each role, which leads to shared leadership models and hiring backup individuals to step in if someone needs to step out, much like understudies in theater. We focus on growing and developing the skills and abilities of our team members, constantly recruiting and building new relationships to maintain a healthy pool of potential leaders. We recognize that everything is impermanent and plan accordingly, acknowledging that people’s presence cannot always be guaranteed. This is why shared leadership and developing leaders over time are essential.

What is Transmedia Storytelling

Transmedia storytelling has been utilized in theater productions, such as the Black Women Playwrights’ Group and Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) collaboration on By The Way, Meet Vera Stark and Kristoffer Diaz’s The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, to create a more immersive and expansive experience. The Calling Up Justice practice values the freedom and accessibility that transmedia storytelling provides.
