Our five Cs
Hover to exploreTap to exploreCreativity
Every project starts with someone asking "what if...". We show ideas while they are still forming, because unfinished is not a weakness, and we are proud to keep the creative process out in the open.

We pay attention to what is happening right now, and to the people shaping it. That is what To Be Right Now means: documenting the ideas and scenes forming in front of us, from Canberra outwards.

Anyone with something to bring is welcome, whatever their background or wherever they come from. If you have something to bring to the table, hurry up and bring it.
See it inEventsConsciousness
We stay present and intentional: in how we treat people, how we credit collaborators, and what we choose to make. Every image carries its photographer, and every collaborator gets their name.
See it inArchiveCollaboration
The best work happens when different disciplines meet. An interview leads to a collaboration, the collaboration becomes an event, the event produces an artifact, and an edition records it.
