DRIVING MISSION
Merging art, technology and wellness through Black speculative design!
Oddside Arts explores art through speculative practices (sci-fi & fantasy imaginings, and musings about the future), and the application of technology by using digital design and immersive experiences. We also make sure that mental well-being is a part of our approach by working from a point of view that prioritizes mindfulness. We’re dedicated to supporting artists, especially those who identify as part of the Afrodiaspora, Indigenous and/or 2SLGBTQIAP communities.
What We Envision
Using art as a point of access for critical discussions about accessibility, equity, coalition building, and demystifying the public art process for more BIPOC artists to gain access. We achieve this through:
1
Collaboration
We function through an Ubuntu framework, an African concept that promotes interconnectedness where we choose to focus on the “we” rather than on singular pathways to success.
2
Advocacy
We advocate for space to include the creative outputs of BIPOC folks (with an emphasis on Black and Indigenous peoples) and those who self-identify as 2SLGBTQIAP.
3
Knowledge Sharing
We contribute to the development of Black and/or Queer BIPOC artists by supporting the creation, production, and presentation of artworks, through disseminating educational resources, and providing mentoring opportunities.
