Cultural Engagement Lab

The Cultural Engagement Lab (CEL) ignites change by collaborating with artists to create irresistible and inspiring content that powers electoral campaigns and creates a more just and equitable world. We provide tools and trainings to support a wide-scale integration of cultural strategy as a core component of any strong political campaign long-term, especially those that engage and inspire young people and people of color. CEL is the 501(c)4 action arm of The Center for Cultural Power, led by artist and activist, Favianna Rodriguez and a team of artist disruptors practicing in the field for more than a decade. CEL builds on the legacy of the Citizen Engagement Lab, an early accelerator and incubator of cutting edge digital strategy and digital organizing, former home to Color of Change, Ultraviolet,
