Our long-overdue invitation to you all to participate in the Bttm Manifesto open-source doc (as link to google doc in the webpage below):
Bttm Manifesto was co-created by artists Richard Orjis and val smith in 2018 during PhD studies at AUT (Tamaki Makaurau, Aotearoa). The manifesto takes many forms, including public readings and a rotting paper version that was buried for three nights under a ring of colonial oak trees in Albert Park. Bttm reflects an emergent collaborative practice that underpins the conception of a number of projects, including Queer Pavilion.
This version of Bttm Manifesto is an open-source document. Your contributions are invited with excitement for how it might travel. Feel free to add, share, edit or shuffle at will. We also welcome any feedback, critique or suggestions on the manner in which we offer this.
You can contact us on valvalvalsmith@gmail.com, richard@richardorjis.com or as comments here
