Welcome to Decomprose

Decomprose is an interfaith organization working against the grain to collaboratively reimagine a better world, on earth as it is in heaven. Our mission is to create positive social change through uplifting artists invested in making our world a better place.

The idea of "decomprose community" is a combination of three themes:

   1. Decompose

Decomposing is part of the process of life and rebirth. Here, we focus on ways to foster personal and community growth by identifying "branches” that need to break off and return to the soil for us to bloom.

   2. Prose

This is a creative space where we find narratives to describe our worlds and experiences through multimedia exploration.

   3. Deconstruct

Sometimes we have to take apart our biases, positive or negative, to become new. This is a place to engage with novel thoughts and ideas.

Decomprose is a community where artists of all ages and stages can uplift and support each other without bounds or borders.
