About Future Fellows: The Future Is Now
CEC ArtsLink commissioned new work from 10 artists, the Future Fellows, around the idea of a manifesto for the future of independent arts practice. The Future Fellows build new networks locally and transnationally to support and sustain independent artists in a post-pandemic world. Through dialogue with each other and independent cultural hubs and sharing practices, the Future Fellows explore inspirational new models for artists working in community and public contexts. They propose new arts ecology for the 21st century. The Future Fellows manifestos were presented at the ArtsLink Assembly 2021.
The individual projects under Future Fellows: The Future Is Now include:
– The Future Fellow Manifesto by Rusanda Curcă, a cultural worker, artist-farmer and environmental and civic activist from Hîrtop village, Republic of Moldova.
– The Future Fellow Manifesto by Cannupa Hanska Luger, a multidisciplinary artist who uses social collaboration in response to timely and site-specific issues. Based in Santa Fe, NM.
– ‘Expressive Body’, work in progress by Noura Murad, Artistic Director of Leish Troupe in Damascus, Syria.
About CEC ArtsLink
CEC ArtsLink advocates and supports transnational cultural mobility and collaboration, empowering artists and arts leaders to engage communities in dialogue and creative projects for a more equitable, compassionate, and sustainable world. We resolutely embrace inclusivity, independent expression, human rights, and the development of civil societies.
CEC ArtsLink supports dialogue between artists and communities through individual encounters, public events, transnational networks, and virtual platforms. Founded in 1962, CEC ArtsLink believed that it was essential for citizens of the United States and the Soviet Union to meet and build mutual trust, while their governments engaged in the Cold War. Today, artists and arts leaders play a vital role in nurturing civil societies. Through the simple act of bringing people together in a shared experience, through exploration of the unfamiliar, art can dissolve borders and help communities overcome distrust and insularity. As nations increasingly retreat behind their borders, it becomes imperative for the work of artists and arts leaders to catalyze communities in mitigating conflict and prejudice locally, nationally, and globally.
