A new season begins. Time to prepare the plot, sow the seeds, and make space for all that might take root.

In 1994, psychologist C.R. Snyder defined hope as a combination of goals—the sense of direction for human actions, agency—the will to move forward—and pathways—the ability to imagine routes to get there. In this spirit, WMA’s new programme series “The Sow Must Go On” approaches the cultivation of “hope” as a diverse set of social, cultural, and collective actions.

Inviting six visionary artists and photographers, the programme begins with each proposing a cause close to their hearts. These seed ideas then grow into three-month incubative projects at WMA. Through collaborative programming, workshops and conversations, this artist-led initiative asks: how might we sow on the soil of uncertainty, and who do we choose to act with?

The sow must go on.
