ARCOS is committed to relational, rather than transactional, practices of sharing resources, knowledge, and care in art-making. ARCOS Presents awardees receive financial support, including an artist stipend, production budget, studio rehearsal space, technical inventory access, and performance venue. Additionally, mentorship provides awardees creative thought-partnering, production and technical support, and community outreach guidance.
Routing by Sanchita Sharma
A personal and communal practice that traverses the “migrant’s time” (Guha 1998; Mathur 2011), attempting to interweave a life left behind and a life begun in the diaspora—to connect with the “Other” made to feel like an outsider, longing to be seen and to belong.
My Body, Your Choice by Al Hamauei
A retaliation, a femme-punk manifesto, a vocally rebellious, audience interactive, rage-infused piece of dance theater attacking what it’s like to move through the world as a femme-bodied person.
