About Active Cultures
Our mission is to nourish interdisciplinary and experimental practice, inspire curiosity, and feed empathy through artist-led, collective experiences and generative conversations.
Throughout our programming, our purpose is to expand our assumptions around foodways, making creative spaces for gathering and shared experience, and to enrich our political, cultural, and sensorial relationships to food. Since our founding in 2018, AC has supported interdisciplinary practices by artists who consider hospitality an empowering gesture; who privilege community-building; and who work to make visible the critical stakes of cultural production, representation, and consumption.
