The Liminal Lab…
combines curiosity around spaces of transition, waiting, conflict, and unknown with community organizing and artistic practice in an attempt to reconstruct dignity as we know it within communities impacted by systems of oppression. Through frameworks of Transformative Justice, Abolition and Cultural Organizing, the Liminal Lab’s goal is to engage communities in conversations around change through experiences rooted in collective learning, and a dream of collective liberation.
Facilitations, Workshops, and Trainings
Anooj is a facilitator, creating workshops and trainings centering Restorative and Transformative Justice Practices, Frameworks for Abolition, Cultural Organizing, Youth Organizing, and Community Building through the Expressive Arts.
Created from a history of abolitionist organizing practices, and a desire to turn interpersonal learnings into communal questionings and experiences, Anooj works to build lines of understanding intra-communally. Dedicated deeply to building relationship-center people power and a vision for society that is dignified and inclusive for all, these workshops and trainings are both loving and rigorous, touching on both the essence of shared humanity, but also the smaller steps we can commit to, and build accountability towards, in making better conditions across society. Anooj is currently a teaching artist with the School of the New York Times and The Moth, and has facilitated community based training cohorts on Restorative Justice in spaces from the ACLU to New York Public Library.
Past work has included facilitations with The American Civil Liberties Union, City-as-School, Cornell University’s Department of Theatre and Media Arts, Drive Change, the Department of Theatre Arts at Marymount Manhattan College, Make the Road NY, MayDay Space, The Moth, The New Jersey State Bar Foundation, The New York Public Library, NYU’s Center for Multicultural Education and Programs, Office of The New York City Public Advocate, The Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence, Rustic Pathways, Sakhi for South Asian Women, The Urban Youth Collaborative, UC Berkeley’s Geography Department, and Youth Represent.
