resort is a container of care for artists by artists, fuelled by gestures towards decolonial futurity in the local island territory and amidst global contexts.
resort creates spaces to soften in, to come together, build community, to enact forms of resistance and solidarity so as to contest the dominant narratives and injustices of our realities. Grounding itself in feminist, inclusive, sustainable, radical, playful and hopeful practices, resort seeks to provide space for critical thinking, experimentation, free-speech, conversation and reflection.
resort is a project born in Mauritius, initiated by a collective of artists and is continuously fed by researchers as well as cultural, environmental and community activists. resort draws from various forms of knowledge (personal, familiar, cultural and common experiences) to work towards exploring ways of transforming past negative cycles into more hopeful ones through art and collective healing.
The existence of resort as a project is made possible by community efforts and the collective sharing of resources that sit outside of formal and institutional structures. The resort program is fluid and organic; its components morph and adapt over time depending on the availability of support structures as well as the time, resources and energies of the collective. Most components are curated as small and intimate exchanges amongst participants, when possible, resort also organizes events within the public sphere.
The resort program currently holds components that vary between off-site exhibitions, gatherings, banquets, traveling libraries, mini residencies and more...
