WHAT IS [* ] - MANDATE - PROJECTS

[* ] collective [* ] collectif [* ] [* ] [* ] [* ]

[* ] is a creative, artistic, dynamic, bilingual collective of multi-diverse individuals joined to build community and initiate positive artistic action.

[* mandate]

* Use creativity * To build respect for the environment, diverse communities, and for oneself. Creativity is a visionary tool.


* Play or Die * Play is serious stuff.


* Freedom of Speech * In the true meaning of the term, that is: democracy.


* Non-Hierarchy * No bosses, kings, queens, lords, directors, slaves, and people with big egos. We all have an equal place and voice in [* ].


* Equality * Recognizing and observing our own desire for power as a way to catalyze our lives and create space for others - who in turn create space for us.


* Environment of Inclusion * Positive change starts at home; we want to build a safe space for all different genders, ages, colours, languages, religions, physical attributes, and sexual orientations.


* Autonomy of Thought * Endless and restless movement - impermanence - dogma is the enemy (which is a dogma, which is the enemy, which is a dogma, which is...). OR... my karma ran over my dogma.


* Trust & Transparency * To build a culture of trust; all our actions are open to public view.


* Information and Research * Knowledge is power - to work, play with and use information to create positive change.


* Community & Collaboration * To fuse minds, communities and other like-minded organisations to embark in our exploration of creative empowerment.


* Making Links * To have a holistic approach to life, to avoid 'band-aid solutions': to reveal the power dynamics and social constructions behind what seems ordinary and everyday.


* Idealism * We strive to be idealists with an ACTION PLAN.


* Support * Communality = support, friendship, connection. To be translated into communal support, resource sharing, tool sharing.


* Activism * One of our fundamental principles of activism: Dialogue.
