1. We are here to shake shit up;
2. But also to acknowledge the shit, as it is, in this moment; and how it has been;
3. But also to acknowledge the beauty, the power, the growth, the community, as it is, in this moment; and how it has been;
4. Because there is no bad past, no good past; And the future isn't everything; there's also the here & now, the then & there, and the way of getting there;
5. We want to make some changes; knowing that we don't know where we are going, and knowing that we will mess up along the way;
6. These changes are to our aesthetics, to our communities, and to our process; but they are also to the principals by which we form these structures;
7. In setting up new artistic principles and working out new methods of representation we must start with the compelling demands of a changing epoch;
8. Because this is a revolt against the established order; but it is also a revolt against an established silence;
9. When all values are being formed or questioned, the system cannot be applied; It must be known, understood, spun around, deconstructed, exploded, and reclaim;​ But re-claiming does not require that we erase the past and script a new one;
10. I’m not a teacher; I’m a reminder; I’m just trying to remind you of things you’ve dismissed, forgotten, or buried;
11. Instead we collect here our ancestors, call through tin can telephones and ask them for advice,send our wifi signals into space and hope they bounce off our future selves, between the three of us maybe we can make something;
