Abstract:
Over the past 35 years ANAT has cultivated opportunities for artists to create experimental work in and with science and technology.
Through residencies including ANAT Synapse now celebrating its 20th year, festivals, workshops and other professional activities supported by robust national and international networks ANAT plays a unique and critical role in Australia’s artistic and cultural ecosystem and contributes significantly to the nation’s reputation for creativity, diversity and innovation.
We acknowledge that humanity and our planet Earth is amid a transformative era, facing some of the greatest ecological, social, cultural, economical and technical challenges in human history. We are the confluence of three interconnected and interrelated ecosystems; arts, science and technology, that are critical in shaping this right of passage and unique opportunities to shape the futures.
ANAT has a long tradition of cultivating artistic excellence by bringing together artists with science and technology to create experimental artwork, but making new ideas visible is not enough.
Our vision is for artists to contribute to cultivating the conditions for ecological, cultural, social and economic flourishing for all living beings, through the making and sharing of some of Australia’s most important stories. Building on our existing programs, capability, and our core value of reciprocity, over the next five years ANAT will identify and develop our role in cultural diplomacy internationally, importantly across the Indo Pacific and Southeast Asian regions.
We recognise that we need to amplify the unheard and vulnerable (human and beyond human), transcend traditional practices to communicate stories effectively and cultivate relationships that enable us to endure.
