What is Power Culture?
The Art and Energy Collective have gathered examples of art and energy practice to share with you here. These aren’t projects that we’ve been involved with ourselves, but they are examples of art (in all its forms) that explores energy themes that affect our lives. We call this collection Power Culture.
If you have an example of some Power Culture that you think others would be interested in, please share it here, or on our online community platform https://BuryTheGiant.Club
