Visceral Visions Commitment to Anti-Oppression and Decolonization 

We are dedicated to inciting intersectional interculturalism in the arts and are strongly committed to embodying anti-oppression and decolonization values in all facets of our work. We strive to consciously address systemic inequality as an integral aspect of our artistic practice, using art to build awareness and empathy as we illuminate how the intersection of race with all other oppressions deeply impacts the world today. It is at the heart of these intersections where artists, as agents of change, must ask the hard questions that spark inspiration, introspection, compassion, clarity, and ultimately, the act of creation that transforms incomprehensible human suffering into hope. 

We are committed to working with BIPOC individuals, particularly women and non-binary folx of colour, who reflect the communities in which we live and work. Indigenous and racialized peoples, and members of other underrepresented groups are highly encouraged to submit a proposal.
