Calling all artists, from any lineage, any country, any ether – let’s circle up and find better ways to do what we do. This is a space for anyone who has felt:

1. Lonely, confused and aimless in the work that you make
2. Unsupported, and that a lot of institutions and organizations talk big about ‘supporting artists’ because it makes them look good
3. People constantly argue about whether your work is theatre/drag/performance art/a lecture/avant-garde
4. [insert whatever lemons are making you feel sour here]

Facilitator Heba Daghistani will use her groundshifting methodology to invite everyone to share insights, to reflect on what solidarity means for other artists, and to discover what support we need to receive and can give each other. I don’t know about you, but I feel like as an artist I have so much to say (often to myself, in the shower, with my rubber duck as audience), and this time, we really want to hear your gripes, thoughts and ideas!

As Saksi Bisou, my artistic collective exists to foster acts of ‘self-beginning’ – and to give voice to stories that have been invisible to the public imagination, because I believe these stories will shed light on our understanding of the world, and disorient us in beautiul and necessary ways. So, we want to hear from you, to understand what alternatives are possible for us to create infrastructures that will support each other. We’ll talk about some of the things we have in the works that you can take part in this Spring, and there will be some discounts/offers for our upcoming workshops that will be extended only to those who come to the Artists’ Circle. However, what you share with us will also shape our future activities.
