They explore how contemporary arts, cultural practice and ideas can defend culture as a human right through great art and storytelling.

They curate a multi-artform program of exhibitions, performances, publications and events that respond to themes and provocations they believe are urgent for our times e.g. migration, climate change and democracy.
