Graduate Manifesto

 

As part of 'MANIFESTOS from times of CRISIS' by Rossana Irvine

13 MAY 2021, ONLINE VIA ZOOM

​

Circus Sideshow were delighted to host a group of Graduate Associates to come together and make a manifesto, facilitated by artist Rosanna Irvine as part of her ongoing series ‘MANIFESTOS from times of CRISIS’. A participatory public art work in which groups of people create their own collective manifesto.

MANIFESTO

​

1. We value sharing human experiences through creative exchange.

​

2. We want art to be framed in a broader way: an appreciation that the creative imagination can transform people and society.

​

3. We value creative processes that are open to all, based on authentic relationships, processes that are not compromised by a quick-fix approach.

 

4. We value art that supports collaborative and creative processes.

​

5. We believe that all forms of art should be available and accessible to all regardless of their situation or location.

​

6. We value a culture that supports the integrity of the individual artist and embraces a diversity of personal circumstances.

​

7. We believe that art should be funded on the basis of the quality of the process as a key part of the outcome.

​

8. We believe in embracing risk and making mistakes as a core ingredient of the creative and learning process.

​

9. We believe art can be a vehicle to drive relationships, bring people together and generate communities.

 

10. We value SLOWNESS.
