Emily Van Engel ARTIST STATEMENT My work explores what it might take, look like, or feel like to shift our behavior to be environmentally sustainable. I incorporate industrial imagery, mostly of oil refineries and resource extraction, because I want to be specific and transparent about the extraction, pollution and human decision-making that has led to large-scale global environmental degradation thus far. Working in glass allows me to convey depth and transparency on this topic, and the heat and pressure inherent to printmaking in kilnformed glass speaks to the formation of fossil fuels. There is an immediacy in the work that relates to a call to action on addressing climate change and for bringing balance to our relationship with our environment. I see opportunities for change in how we share resources and structure ourselves socially and economically for a more caring, healthier and sustainable existence. We are connected to each other and to our planet.

    One Member One Vote: The Success of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund and the Arizmendi Association of Cooperatives through Cooperative Leadership Mary Sutton Graduate School of Leadership and Change Antioch University Introduction In this exploratory case study (Yin, R.K., 2014), I investigate the original inspiration and motivations of two leaders who work with successful long-standing cooperative development projects: Carol Prejean Zippert is a founding member of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives, now the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund, and Tim Huet is a founding member of the Arizmendi Association of Cooperatives. This exploration served to directly inform the development of ethical leadership strategies inside a social enterprise of my own design, Collective REMAKE: Art, Business, Education, Jobs, News, People, and Recycling for Sustainability. Collective REMAKE will support the development of worker-owned businesses and other kinds of cooperatives with people who have been incarcerated or individuals who are marginalized socially and economically, due to race, sex, class, gender identity, age or ability. The official launch of Collective REMAKE, 2017, corresponds to my admission into to the Graduate School of Leadership and Change at Antioch University. In 2017, Collective REMAKE received its first grant from the JIB Fund, Black Equity Initiative to launch a series of Cooperative Education and Development workshops with people who have spent time in prison or jail, with a focus on members of the African American community. Demonstrations of the success of that project include a positive response from participants, new cooperative businesses in development, and a substantial commitment from a network of cooperative partners from the community.

  • Case Studies

    Case Studies

    At a time when many are disillusioned with big banks, big business, and growing inequity in our country, employee ownership offers a real solution for workers and communities. SHIFT CHANGE visits the 50-year-old network of cooperative businesses in Mondragón, Spain, and thriving examples of such businesses in the U.S. The film shares on-the-ground experiences, lessons, and observations from the worker-owners on the front lines of the new economy. CASE STUDIES In addition to SHIFTCHANGE , this DVD contains nine individual case studies. Most of these case studies are also found in the main feature, but each individual case study is a bit longer and more complete. In addition, there are three case studies not included in SHIFT CHANGE for lack of time – Austin Polytech, CHCA, and the EBO Group. Case studies also represented in SHIFT CHANGE LA EMPRESA ES NUESTRA – This case study compiles all The Mondragón sections of SHIFT CHANGE in one piece rather than being interspersed with worker cooperative examples from the U.S. In addition, the Mondragón case study includes two additional stories that were cut from SHIFT CHANGE for the sake of time. EVERGREEN COOPERATIVES - Cleveland, Ohio is working to revitalize this rust belt city by developing new businesses rooted in low income neighborhoods, each owned and operated by its workers. A partnership among city government and local institutions, with assistance from the Democracy Collaborative, Evergreen seeks to fight poverty with family- wage, sustainable jobs for local residents, jobs that will never be move away. ARIZMENDI BAKERIES - a network of six cooperative bakeries in the San Francisco Bay area, inspired by the Mondragón cooperatives in the Basque Country of Spain.
