ACTS OF LIBERATION
Contemporary Artistic Rituals
We need new rituals to re-imagine the world we live in, to reconnect with ourselves emotionally, new rituals where creativity, humanity, and community can become engines of change and social transformation
The objective of this project is to seek new creative forms to free ourselves from the fears that paralyze us and emotionally connect with the people in our environment, both known and unknown, to imagine new paradigms of relationship and coexistence.
We are developing 4 lines of work where we put art at the service of people:
Laboratories, Experiments, collaborative projects, and acts of liberation
These 4 lines of work form an ecosystem where creativity, innovation, and human relationships intertwine to find new creative horizons and self-awareness.
