Kinship Collaborative

The Urban Village is a Karen and Karenni community space designed to cultivate connection, collaboration, and kinship both inside and outside its walls. Our village stands in solidarity with the Karen and Karenni people by providing culturally relevant space and support which acts as a launchpad for community-led programs. The Urban Village works with and empowers local Karen and Karenni artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, ideas, movements, and leaders to serve their community through their own unique skill sets. At the Urban Village, we believe that the road to opportunity and achievement can be difficult to travel alone. We believe, it takes a village.
