$5,000 t0 Fractured Atlas for folkLAB to support the creation and documentation of three performance projects, including beginning development on our first touring work, and to assist in creating additional co-programming and partnerships with local community organizations whose missions intersect with our own.

folkLAB is an interdisciplinary, devised, performance project and an artistic community network dedicated to fair representation, compensation and access in the arts. Our two series in Our Voice and miniMythologies foster the creation of brand new performances created by under-represented artist and inspired by the intersection of personal narrative, myths or archetypes, and identity. Through this work we aim to create a new, decolonized folklore that truly represents our diverse world as it is today.

Fractured Atlas empowers artists, arts organizations, and other cultural sector stakeholders by eliminating practical barriers to artistic expression, so as to foster a more agile and resilient cultural ecosystem.
