We live in a time where escalating global issues and social disintegration in local society are becoming of critical concern to us all. We believe these issues are a direct result of the current economic model in which we live.

Mutual Arising seeks to co-ordinate cultural projects, engaging young people and involving a variety of art forms, that will introduce new models for integrating community in terms of mutual economic activity and mutual policy decision making and implementation.

Our research, gathered over the past two years, has shown an overwhelming need to begin the process of building bridges between various organisations, institutions, individuals and public / private sector groups, to establish trusting and transparent relationships and pave the way for change to happen in a gradual and organic fashion.

Mutual Arising is managed by, and engages with, professional artists who identified their commitment to careers in the cultural industries in the early stages of their adult life. By the same token, our proposed projects will assist and mentor young people in uncovering or developing creative arts, media and project management skills, and identifying the local agencies that can support their continued training and career development.

The integrated approach we propose will work from a premise that art is an expression of society. All creative activity will be initiated within a process of consultation that addresses the practical, environmental and economic benefits to the local community. Young people will acquire leadership skills as they implement the work, articulate community needs, document and publicise the activity and seek to broaden participation in our projects.
