What if online marketplaces were designed for sellers to collaborate rather than compete? How can strikes be used not just as a form of resistance, but as a catalyst for co-creating a non-exploitative model?

Ebony speaks with Mastress Tara from Artisans Cooperative, a member-owned handmade marketplace. Learn how they emerged from the Etsy Strike that 30,000 sellers joined, what they offer artisans that’s unique from other marketplaces, how they encourage cooperation rather than competition amongst sellers, practices for tapping into our childlike spirits, and the future they envision for Artisan’s Co-op.
