Research on Subversive Art

Mission Statement

Artistic research in general aims to advance the understanding of methods & impacts within the arts. At RoSA this will include the specific goal of advancing the practice of creating works which seek to liberate, educate, & challenge its audiences. Subversive art is that which questions, exposes, or attacks deeply held beliefs. Our belief is that art allows for the sort of indirect communication that can effect its audiences on emotional, intellectual, and sub-conscious levels. As such, art has been a useful tool for illuminating new perspectives, conveying alternatives to unhealthy social norms, and otherwise immersing individuals in a space of questioning & consideration.

ROSA will be a center dedicated to expanding on, collecting, and sharing knowledge gained through artistic research, exhibition of challenging works, and community education.
