Experiments
This section is an invitation to open up dialogues between the many and diverse possibilities inherent to any art form. It could be a podcast, a brief text, a book, an
image, an animation, a song, a poem, a photograph, a film, stand up comedy, manga, comics, graffiti and street art, graphic design, outsider art, or even a karaoke
performance. All forms and acts of creative expression can engender a better understanding of the old and new creative forces that render and reflect the worlds we
know, and juxtapose those worlds we are familiar with against those that we can only imagine.
It’s a practice that is ageless, timeless, and endless….
