ART FOR OUR FUTURE & PEOPLE!

 

POLITICS ARE PROCESS

It is relevant who makes the work.

Amplify the voices silenced by the canon.

Text is not the only form of authorship.

Our artists are international.

Our shows are multilingual.

Our art is open.

 

FORM IS POLITICAL

Look outside what you know.

Rethink definitions of excellence.

Celebrate subjectivity.

Celebrate the mess and imperfection of humanity.

Celebrate liveness.

 

OUR WORK IS PART OF THE WORLD

Acknowledge and hold the suffering of the past.

Imagine the future.

Don't portray the world, change it.

We are nature and nature are us.

There must be space to come together and talk.

We declare a climate emergency.

 

CHANGE. TRANSITION. TRANSFORM

Make work in a circular economy

Everyone in the room is part of the show (this includes the audience).

We can't do this without you.

What happens after the art is the point of the art.

 

MAKE IT HAPPEN!
