MANIFESTO 1 - 30 MAY 2024

FOR ARTISTS FEELING THE STRAIN OF THE WORLD

This is our vocation, the calling and the communication. We make things, we tell the story, not always our own but what our souls witness. Remember to bare witness. We share the moment, share the bread. Never forget, we record the unseen, the most felt, the unspoken hymns between other's eyes and lingering on foreign lips. We take the photograph, we make the quiet parts heard, spoken, out loud, all of it. Every ounce of joy to every bit of grief, from the shallowest ponds to the deepest seas.

This is the time when we get to work. Put action behind the story, go outside, witness everything, bare witness, walk alongside others, tell the stories, get angry, let this change you, let it push you and alchemise this moment into something new.
