"...Choosing love, and beginning with love as the ethical foundation for politics, that we are best positioned to transform society in ways that enhance the collective good.” - bell hooks, Outlaws Culture
The event is about creation, mentorship and building a broader network amongst artists with varying levels of experience and genres. It is inspired by the words of bell hooks and Louis Riel. What is the role of the artists when it comes to community? How can we affect change? How can we encourage conversation? Love as a verb is the only action containing unwilting patience, dedication, care, joy, vulnerability, intimacy, grief, honesty and hope that organically compels a reaction. Live Mixtape is about the performers as the conduits and prisms of that verb's many shades.
