We are D6: Culture in Transit, visual arts producers with a rooted local presence and established international reach. Our work is co-produced with artists and partners and focused on societal issues that concern and connect us. Through artistic exchange and commissions, we draw threads between communities of difference and explore international common ground with partners across continents.
New ideas, understanding and exchange, lie at the heart of what we do. We support artists whose practice as research represents an exploration of society at the intersection of migration, environmental sustainability, gender, social justice, race, institutional practice and decolonisation. We build relationships, practice and programmes with rigour, care and generosity, creating spaces to enable a deeper understanding of multiple lived experiences and perspectives.
