Secrets

Secrets: We are often asked for full disclosure. Imperatives of communication, of media or commerce are based on the need to make visible, to reveal. But often it is that which remains hidden, unspoken and unknowable which defines our experience. A secret can be private, or a shared knowledge. It can be a protective veil or an impossible burden. It can empower or destroy. A secret is an active withdrawal, yearning at once to remain hidden, and to be revealed.

6+ is a women’s art collective with a very specific mission. The work of our collective is about creating possibilities for collaboration between women artists from different cultural backgrounds; we look for connections between apparently distant locations and experiences, while at the same time creating a space for difference. We seek ways of working together outside of the logic of the market, of commerce, of the media and of the march of armies.
