This week's episode continues Everything Co-op's 2025 Holiday List and features Ebony Gustave, artist organizer for Art.coop. Art.coop is a collective that exists to grow an arts and culture movement rooted in solidarity by centering artists and cultural workers making systems-change irresistible.

Ebony Gustave is an artist and a web weaver, community architect and storyteller. Before producing and hosting the Cooperative Journal podcast, she journeyed around the world collecting stories across cultures, experientially learning tools for self-sufficiency, and researching indigenous plants. Throughout that time she felt the power of human and non-human relationships, trust, and what agency feels like. Today, Ebony is an artist organizer with Art.coop and the cultural organizing project Creative Wildfire. Her intention is to collectively cultivate that same sense of awareness and embodiment through solidarity economy storytelling and facilitation.
