Z is an intergenerational and intercultural community based artists run organization with aim to create space for us all; artists, community activists, educators and simply whoever wants to connect and share ideas with generosity and kindness. People with deep respect for humanity, justice, friendship and care for our mother nature. In the past 11 years we have tried to engage and to connect to p
eople from different communities and backgrounds through art and conversation. We worked with artists, community activists and educators from all walks of life in order to create lifelong connections and understanding of each other's culture and beliefs. We tried to encourage artists and communities, originally from “here” or originally from “there” to tell their stories through creation and conversation. Our goal is to encourage outspoken artists to share their stories and creativity without fear of any judgement. We hope to encourage communities; to come together, neighbours and friends to eat together, create art and share their stories, as well as to discuss and share ideas which can open doors for kindness, friendship and tolerance. Z likes to create space for listening, learning, teaching and sharing generously. Z deeply believes in the power of firsthand storytelling. Z likes to remember.
