We are D6: Culture in Transit. We are visual arts producers working with extraordinary artists, intrepid partners, communities and policy makers.
Our vision is world in which the arts and culture play a major part in creating a fairer, kinder and well informed society.
Our mission is to develop exceptional collaborative arts projects that challenge polarising cultural narratives and contribute to social resilience and environmental consciousness.
Our work explores some big questions around the value and ethics of artistic production and engagement – for whom, by whom, with whom and in response to societal and environmental issues that both unite and divide us.
In a world ravaged by COVID-19, these considerations are even more prescient, exposing the need to move away from the more people less time paradigm - and do things more slowly, more deeply and more meaningfully: to have impact by doing things at a slower pace in order to be kind to each other and our planet and to use our resources more resourcefully; to make real connections and do things well we need to deepen the experience of the artists and the participants and to make it more meaningful we need to listen, to question and respond.
Through research, commissioning, and presentation we work across borders to promote the value of the arts in the sustainable development of neighbourhoods, our communities and our planet.
