Memories and perceived history of spaces are the foundation of our projects as we explore local sites and connect with local audiences. We will then communicate our local findings through the more universal language of art and performance design/scenography, to international platforms through festivals, design-driven performance projects and exhibitions. Opportunities for emerging artists to be at the center of such work are rare; it is through the EMERGENCE framework that we seek to generate new and exciting endeavors for the development of the next generation.
