State of the Nation is an annual multidisciplinary arts festival and bi-monthly series that brings together student, emerging, and professional performing and visual artists from across the United States who are committed to addressing social, political, and economic issues facing the Gulf South.
This year’s festival will explore the intersection of art and activism through the presentation of original performance, music, film, workshops, visual art installations and site-specific events. It will take place from March 18-23, 2009 at the 7th Ward Community Center, The Studio at Colton and various site-specific locations throughout New Orleans.
The festival is currently seeking proposals for pieces that implicitly or explicitly address the theme of a Tipping Point. Performances should be between 12 minutes and 30 minutes. Further details are available on the State of the Nation website.
