A Wake

With MONO as our home base,(A)WAKE creates space for nuanced voices and polyphonous perspectives. We strive to develop a (cultural) program close to current socio-political actualities. A program that initiates, rather than reacts and does not see counterculture as an expression of consumption but appreciates it as a manifestation of itself. In a world dominated by media and populism, we aim to move freely between the domains of (contemporary) art and politics. We believe deeply in the seductive power of aesthetics and design, and connect this with substantive voices of counterculture to reach a wide and diverse audience. We develop cultural programs that do justice to the complexity of our current socio-political context and to the perspectives of minorities who for far too long have been overlooked and/or tokenized by mainstream institutions.
