Calling for Melbourne Fringe EOIs to join the Critical Mass.

Brunswick Mechanics Institute, Siteworks and Testing Grounds come together under one banner to program Critical Mass — a series of live performance, film, visual arts and multi-disciplinary events — for Melbourne Fringe 2018.

Selected artists will be part of a crowding of crucial ideas, amplifying a plethora of voices through curated programming.

Critical Mass is a space for an audacious community to gather and experience ambitious, experimental and critical art. There will be moments of respectful quiet, and times when we need to make noise.

Live Art Happening

All selected artists will be invited to participate in a critical mass live art happening to rally their crucial ideas and to celebrate freedom of expression, dissent and the power of collective action.

Guest curator

Along with Brunswick Mechanics Institute, Testing Grounds and Siteworks, a guest curator (to be announced)  will provide a vital and important voice in the selection of works.
