WHAT THE HECK IS "RUN | TIN"?

YOU don't need eyes to see you need VISION

The inspiration which has formed my vision for RUN | TIN emerged from a creative atmosphere produced by creative people.
Creative action means active creation. To RUN TINGS and keep the flow of creative work steady would be essential for every human being.
In order to support and promote local youth artists who be creative in any kind of way and express themselves in their own ways
we want to take advantage of technological development and use digital media as a platform of exchanging art, knowledge and ideology
and provide the whole TING a multi-perspective, multi-colored, multi-etnic, multi-talent framework.

OUR VISION would be a digital social network which keeps subcultures, ethnic groups and people connected and its framework should act like a motor to keep the local art scene impulsive and fresh in terms of cultural events, dances, exhibitions, flash mobs, street art, ... put your own TING!
We know from way back when Bob Marley taught us two lessons: each one teach one and every little TING is gonna be alright. Every little TING from someone could be the supplement of another BIG ting from someone else.
WE want to speak for ourselves and connect with other people who share the same VISION.
WE want to be heard from mainstream society and politicians and everyone else, so this platform can be another mouthpiece to channel our voice.
WE want to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery which postmodern capitalistic society imposes upon us.
WE want to produce critical art to free our minds and free our people. WE want to empower ourselves through art.
WE want to be seen in the streets, pon stage, in the studio or in exhibitions. WE want to show our colors.
NOW its your decision whether you want or not be part of OUR VISION.

WHAT WE COULD DO

I do have a lot of ideas about what we could do, but as this experiment arose from a collective artistic moment I want to keep that spirit alive.
WE are power in numbers. In collective action we can share a revolutionary (or not) energy which could give us the strength to empower ourselves collectively as well as individually.
THINK POSITIVE, stay productive and keep sharing your ideas with us. Yes I am sure WE can create an incredible brainstorm of ideas how WE RUN TINGS!

BUT what WE unfortunately always have to fear as well is to get suspected by the notorious "Mafiaparagraph" §278a... RE-CLAIM UR RIGHTS! SPEAK THE TRUTH! FIGHT POLITRIKKKS! CHOP THE LONG ARM OF THE LAW! BUN DOWN IMPERIAL STRUCTURES!

WHAT WE SHOULD NOT DO

O WE are all WORLD CITIZENS but we should respect di foundation and NOT forget about our ROOTS which is the cruicial starting point of individual ROUTES (which does not mean being nationalistic). Look to cultural heritage as someTING special.
O WE should not preach FREEDOM OF SPEECH and transform it into hatred. Our ideas and ways of expression are ethical.
O WE should not disrespect people or discriminate anyone because of their skin color, origin, gender, body, class, religion, culture or any other attribute.
O WE want to break free from economically mainstream imposed stereotypes. WE are all individual characters and more than just players in an unfair game. WE should not give up our dedication for sufferah's arts and to force the resistance of a contagious underground virus. BUT in reality it's no virus but truth... and truth hurts!
O WE should not waste our creative energy through envy, jealousy, hatred or devaluation towards others.
...and last but not least...
O WE should not be too paranoic and convinced of conspiracy theories. As commonly known, the Maya calender is to be expired soon and we have to build up a strong network in order to survive and RUN TINGS in the NEW ERA.
