ARTISTIC POLICY Motiroti creates beautiful art that invites you to celebrate difference and connectivity, via an intriguing and open dialogue. In doing so, the company challenges and teases perceptions of artists, organisations, audiences and individuals.
REVIEW EXTRACT 'Food-wise; the night was gargantuan; but the artistic intervention was soufflé-light.' The Spectator
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS Cutout An extraordinary triptych of moving images and ‘found sounds’ that capture the essence of each city and invokes the sensory overload of today’s urban civilisation. (12 mins approx. )
Fresh Asian This video portrait, showing the morphed image of a quintessential Asian, is continuously challenged by its juxtaposition with the faces from which it was developed. (10 mins, 2 people required if creating live audience interaction alongside video)
Cooking with Love A dinner event combining good food, beautiful projections and intimate story telling. (120 mins approx., 3 on the road)
FUTURE PRODUCTION The Big Nashta Collaboration with the Festival of Muslim Cultures, a geographically and community specific participant-centred celebration of women’s role both as keepers and pioneers of their cultures. Outcomes will include a live event.
