Utp invites you to support two ground-breaking artistic innovations planned for late 2023. We’re asking for your help to raise $25K to develop these critical Utp projects, Season of Care and Counterflows.

With your generous EOFY donation, you will invest in vital work that creates new knowledge and and original works by historically under-represented artists.

More about the programs:

A Season of Care is a series of public events, artist residencies and intimate talks with care, in all its forms, at the centre. Care is explored as a conceptual rationale and as a collective provocation. This program will ensure care is investigated in 'crip time' and from intersectional perspectives, creating a network of new knowledges. Our touchstones are Tian Zhang’s, ‘A manifesto for radical care or how to be a human in the arts’ (Sydney Review of Books) and Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha.

Counterflows is a 10 month long program with artists from Victoria and New South Wales, to share ideas and work, connect with artistic peers from the South West Asia and North Africa region and decentralise shared learnings with their local communities of practice. The artists engaged in an intensive at Bankstown, visited Sharjah Biennial 15 and will soon head to Naarm (Melbourne). The program is a collaboration between Utp and @artshouse, Melbourne.
