πΏ Connection among humans and nature πΏ
Humans co-exist with the world around them. Awakenus was designed to bring attention to the natural connections between humans and the earth. Remember that HUMANS MAKE ART and ART is part of EARTH. Think about how you can embrace nature in your art.Β
π±Β Freedom of Creativity & Self-Expression π±Β
Awakenus is a safe place to relinquish normalcy and immerse yourself in the arts. Participate in the festival; donβt just observe it. All participants are welcome to co-create. A spirit of gifting is encouraged.
