Waterwell is dedicated to the continuous work of being a company that is anti-racist and anti-oppressive. The legacy of racism and identity-driven discrimination has a long, stubborn, and profoundly damaging history in the United States. At Waterwell, we are dedicated to creating a workplace where artists, students, faculty, administrators, and producers can bring their full selves to their creative work. We strive to be a place where everyone is not only supported but welcomed to bring the full complexity and idiosyncrasy of their identity and how it has shaped their experience of the world to everything that they do. As an employer, we will continue to build and evaluate day-to-day and long-term practices that are rigorous and sensitive to the needs of people of the global majority. We believe that the work of eradicating anti-racism and anti-Blackness from the ideology and material practices in our industry requires deliberate intention and sustained focus. We also stand firmly for the absence of any gender discrimination and discrimination against people who are LGBTQIA+ in our company, and while we believe that there are many areas in which this work is importantly distinct from anti-racism work, there is often intersectionality to recognize and integrate.
