Mission and Vision of RE:Frame Cultural Center

RE:SHIFT NARRATIVES

Creative artistic mediums and platforms serve as powerful tools for young people to develop critical thinking skills and engage with broader cultural issues. Through the use of diverse mediums like digital art, photography, film, music, and writing, young artists can explore and express complex societal topics.

These platforms not only allow for personal expression but also enable young creators to communicate their perspectives to a wider audience, thereby raising awareness and stimulating public discourse. By engaging with these mediums, young people learn to analyze, reflect, and articulate their thoughts on the world around them, fostering a more informed and empathetic society.
