Border Crossings
Border Crossings creates new intercultural, multi-media theatre in response to the contemporary globalised world. The company works across the borders between cultures and artforms, nations and peoples, particularly Indigenous cultures.
Declaration
Border Crossings acknowledges
That our planet, the life it sustains and our own futures as human and non-human beings are facing an unprecedented level of threat.
That the attack on biodiversity and the attack on Indigenous cultures that live sustainably and gratefully with nature are part of the same interconnected attempt to subjugate life to profit: a process of ecocide and genocide rooted in myths of cultural and racial hierarchy.
That, as an organisation working closely with Indigenous cultures and learning from those cultures, it is obliged to advocate for environmental justice and the rights of nature, and to adopt practices that are ecologically responsible and sustainable within its own work.
Border Crossings therefore undertakes
To create platforms for Indigenous artists and activists committed to environmental justice and the rights of other-than-human beings.
To curate and manage projects that engage people in ecological issues and practices, encouraging the adoption of sustainable ways of living and cultural norms.
