As Vines Art Society walks into its eleventh year, the organization doesn’t just celebrate a milestone: it calls forth artists, community, and relatives to help carry the bundle of this work forward. This is not about surviving the storm. It’s about knowing how to be in relation, how to hold many at once, how to dream of futures that are free.
The Festival invites artists to bring forward the songs, dances, stories, and forms that their ancestors carried through fire and flood. Vines asks: how do your teachings move through you? What stories need to be buried, and what ones have roots?
This year, the Festival will create a vision for a world that disrupts not through extraction but through interconnectedness, through nourishment, and reminds us who we are.
