A Manifesto
"We believe learning is an integral part of artistic practice and everyday social process. We believe a better understanding of how we learn in relationship to cultural production holds the key to authentic community. We believe research and learning are a valid art practice. We believe the world is magical and that everyone deserves to be fully a part of this world in a meaningful way."
