Hey, I’m George founder of No Ordinary Experience. I started NOE in 2015 to bring together artist development and cross artform innovation for to make great participation projects... basically making cool s**t with cool people. My passion has always been unexpected work in unexpected places and I love merging that with questions around how we live our lives, today.
90% of NOE collaborators are diverse, womxn & non-binary. Not because we 'have' to, but because that’s who is making the work that will create the change we need to see. I believe this change needs to come from the top of our power structures also work with the big organisations to make change intentional, a part of their day to day. A lot of that work is about values, too. We have to move passed organisation who publically celebrate equality but who might have staff who feel excluded or who commissions the same type of artist every time?
We know the arts sector is struggling right now and so 2021 is all about supporting as many artists & communities as possible to be creative in this new world order. Ahead of the first of many 2021 projects I'm sharing some previous work, amazing collaborators and artists who are changing the narrative.
