The theme of this ArtHouse is
SOCIAL MOVEMENT
What is social movement? it's how we talk, how we listen, how we love, how we celebrate, how we fight, how we struggle, how we learn, how we express, how we communicate. how we live.
Hannabiell & Midnight Blue will be headlining, as well as featured as the house band for the stylings of a diverse collection of poets and performers, all expressing their own understanding of Social Movement.
(showcase performers TBA)
Insurgo Stage Project will conduct a Social Movement Experiment, engaging the audience in a performance piece dealing with social interaction and observation.
Visual artists will engage their topic in their own right: exploring an extension of the theme of social movement ---> being an artist is a political statement. what statement am i making?
EON (Empower our Neighborhoods) will step to the mic and speak on their social movement.
And YOU will take part in a living/evolving installation piece that will document the entire evening as it unfolds...
WHAT IS ARTHOUSE?
ArtHouse celebrates the artists who stay and fight; to all those who struggle to build something new, original and promising. A place for those who work to make New Brunswick a city you’re proud to be from and excited to come home to. In the spirit of its origins (the first ArtHouse in 1999 was a benefit for World AIDS Day), ArtHouse will continue to open the mic to all art forms, including the art form of change. This means that ArtHouse will continue to be a forum that invites dialogue concerning all aspects of life in New Brunswick, including social and political movements. ArtHouse considers these aspects of life (and of the community) just as important as and intrinsically connected to the enjoyment and creation of art.
For the past 10 years, as more and more venues have been shut down and torn down, artists and organizers all over New Brunswick have transformed basements, garages, living rooms, and attics to host us artists in exile - with no other spaces to go. We hang words from the rafters, wrap music around basement poles, rearrange living rooms into galleries, dance on palettes. Share in the abundance of art that makes New Brunswick pulse.
