In this special episode of Rooted Resilience, we sit down with Cassandra Holden, Executive Director of BOMBYX Center for Arts & Equity in Florence, Massachusetts. As an organizer, producer, and creative visionary, Cassandra has played a central role in reimagining what community-centered arts spaces can be.
BOMBYX has served as Rooted Resilience’s fiscal sponsor from the very beginning—helping launch the project, offering guidance and resources, and hosting our first live event in its historic sanctuary. Together, we talk about what it means to hold space for creativity in times of scarcity, how fiscal sponsorship works, and how artists can build more sustainable futures through collaboration, care, and abundance thinking.
