C22

 

C22
 
C22 (Collective 22) is an artistic collective focusing on experimental writing. Our work is influenced by Dada, Surrealism, the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets, Futurism and other pockets of the avant garde. We are a small group aiming towards expression rather than commercialism. Each member is free to create art as they wish, to collaborate if they wish, and to publish work elsewhere should they choose. It’s all about creative freedom and sharing our passion for experimentation.
