Community--What does it mean to you?

Community -- What does it mean to you?


Call-out to Artists:

Let’s explore and celebrate community. What does it look like? What would we like it to look like…

I am looking for 2D , 3D and digital / audio-visual work that stimulates and challenges our perception of how we live together and our social structures function. We aim to stimulate all the senses and incorporate some live performance and visitor interaction.
