As an indie editorial and curatorial platform, we have spent the past two years exploring and embracing emerging waves in art and design, spotlighting creative practices that provoke change.
Through our diverse approaches—publications, narrative-focused curations, and virtual world productions—we collaborate with artists, curators, visionary practitioners, and organizers to carve out spaces beyond traditional institutions, spark dialogues, and envision radical futures.
As part of our 2024 Festival and two-year celebration, we’re inviting friends who have journeyed with us, as well as new friends—artists, visionary practitioners, storytellers, and world-builders who vibe with our vision. Join us for our virtual/hybrid festival to showcase your works, visions, past projects, or ongoing initiatives and connect with like-minded creatives in early October.
Programs:
Exhibition: In collaboration with the Li Tang community, this exhibition invites artists to submit works around the theme through an open call for an immersive virtual showcase, projected in a physical venue, with no restrictions on medium, form, genre, or concept.
Short Film Screening: Selected short films will be screened in New York, with live or pre-recorded Q&A sessions with filmmakers.
Panel Talks: Share your works and insights through 5-10 minute keynote presentations and panel discussions on topics like digital technology and art, sustainability in creative practices, and art in social justice movements.
Performance: Present live performances spanning various genres and mediums, from avant-garde theater to experimental music.
Workshops: Host workshops or participatory events. Collaborate with other artists and enthusiasts to co-create and share skills.
