On this day of April 4, 2022, we are convoking “les états généraux de la Culture,” the Cultural General Assembly (C.G.A).
Art and Poetry are in peril. Culture is under assault of intellectual and spiritual mediocrity. Art and Poetry are not helpless though; in essence, they are eternal Beauty, Knowledge, and Truth unfathomable, yet manifest. Before we convoke your physical bodies to the Art general assembly, we are convoking your brilliant minds and revolutionary hearts. You, Artists, Polymaths, Thinkers, Poets and Essayists, affirm, update, and enhance Culture. Share your thoughts with the world. Be a Beauty-Knowledge-Truth champion: submit your Manifesto!
WHAT IS A MANIFESTO? A QUICK REMINDER
- A Manifesto is a thoughtful response to an unethical state of affairs
- A Manifesto disrupts, not for the sake of disruption, but because a higher Truth, principle, or moral guides its expression
- A Manifesto sets a new cultural era and influences Art and literature drastically
- A Manifesto is avant-garde. It is an expression of genius, channelled by visionaries
- Vision is not reverie or denial of reality. Vision is utter intelligence, intuition, and time mastery
