CORPUS Family is an extension of the music platform and label CORPUS focused on community programming, youth initiatives, local artist support and fundraising, started in the summer of 2019. We function under a non-hierarchical consensus basis. We are continuously developing our own processes to make decisions and amplify marginalized voices in New York City.
Recent CORPUS Family initiatives have included the CORPUS Family Studio Residency, Blissville Winter Coat Drive, CORPUS Self-Defense classes, Burning World book club in collaboration with Playground Coffee Shop, the CORPUS Family Mutual Aid Fund which raised over $45K for NYC based artists and organizers, the June 2020 action “Uprising, A March for Black Women,” and more.
