Mission: Pioneers Go East Collective is an art and culture incubator dedicated to dance, performance and video art that celebrates LGBTQ+, BIPOC, Immigrant, and Disabled communities. An artist-driven collective, we create works of high artistic merit to inspire a lively exchange of Queer and Feminist Art and Pop Culture by connecting people to ideas and experiences. We empower underrepresented, emerging and multicultural artists by informing, nurturing, and connecting artists and communities to build bridges that allow us to transcend boundaries across cultures.
Our core principles:
Community – We center the voices of NYC's LGBTQ+, BIPOC, Immigrant, and Disabled communities.
Social Engagement – An artists-driven and led organization, we believe art is a human right, a powerful means of self-expression, and a bridge that allows us to transcend boundaries between and across cultures to build community and to increase our capacity for dialogue and understanding.
Collaboration – We collaborate with arts and cultural organizations deeply rooted in their communities to help shape projects culturally sensitive to those communities.
Accessibility – Our Creative Engagement Programs are welcoming to all. Free or low-cost (on a sliding scale) and accessible to the general public.
Relevance – Our projects address ideas and issues relevant to the artists and communities involved and are designed to engage with the community.
