Quote:
“I am excited about WASA!® already! One only has to look at the way our communities
collectively engage in participatory events such as the Masked Parade to glimpse the
latent creative energy and enthusiasm that exists in Nelson. This concept has the potential to
establish an open platform upon which people, from all walks of life, are able to unleash their creativity
without judgement, inhibitions or for any other reason other than ‘art for funs sake’.
The fun of being wild and sneaky is WASA!®’s crucial point of difference, opening doors
and enabling access for people to make their own appropriate creative contribution
regardless of ability or circumstance. In attempting to re-define pre-conceived boundaries
around what art is, and who is artistic. WASA!® has the potential to engage and celebrate people
in their ‘everyday lives’. WASA!® is effectively endorsing an ‘artistic licence’ for everyone,
if communities embrace this concept and its’ goals become reality, we could be seeing
an enhanced collective cultural identity where ‘everyday life’ may never be quite the same again
...Life Jim, but not as we know it!”
