WHAT if WORKS

Flying Solo with Artist X: ethics, advocate-art & performance” set out to pose the question.

“What is art? What is the meaning? How effective is art in directing of social change?” Is an artist, by default, responsible for bringing about such change to society?” Without a doubt, art is a means for triggering thought and conversation, but should it also inspire us to action? Such critical questions lay at the center of “Flying Solo with Artist X”. Miami Dade County’s Resident Artist, Xavier Cortada, is one of many artists leveling the social and environmental playing field through his innovative approaches to participatory art. By examining Cortada’s use of art, science, philosophy and social consciousness, “Flying Solo with Artist X” was able to bring together the foundational elements that create theatre as a living experience, leaving audiences with an increased awareness toward social and environmental issues - to become a more active member in their village."
