Dreamed into being during 2020, DIASPORAS is a MAV program set to disrupt the dominant systems of working which often suffocate creatives of colour and our arts and culture sector.
We aim to platform and advocate for diverse & marginalised artists to create new work, new networks, sustainability in the arts and establish a new arts ecology.
Led and peopled by community who embody MAV's values of genuine people-centred leadership and self-determined practice, Diasporas as a program intends to:
- Lead in the interrogation and development of revolutionary arts and cultural practice.
- Promote and advocate the visibility of the hidden and marginalised creatives, cultures and communities.
- Become an eco-system that builds cultural, social and knowledge capital, and acts as a training ground for the next generations of producers, designers, technicians and creatives.
