State of the Arts (SOTA)
Biography
State of the Arts (SOTA) is an open platform to reimagine the conditions that shape the art world today.
SOTA operates through the collaborative intelligence of independent artists and artworkers, but is open to all individuals and organisations that want to co-create a more fair and diverse cultural scene in Belgium.
To SOTA, actual change can only take place by including the people, concerns and viewpoints that are still too often excluded or unacknowledged by the ruling power circles in the cultural field. This is what SOTA wants to make possible.
Finally, SOTA believes that a transition of the art world can also serve as a catalyst for genuine change in society at large.
