culture.capital
A collectible trading card game and live art performance project
Created by Milton Lim and Patrick Blenkarn
culture.capital is a collectible trading card game and live art performance project that critically engages with and celebrates the ways in which value is created within performing arts economies across Canada.
The heart of culture.capital lies in creating an alternative context for discourse about the arts in Canada and about how value is determined and shifted in the performing arts industry. Too often in Canada the only avenues for addressing serious issues in the performing arts industry are panels, where only a select few are empowered to really speak, blog posts or online personal essays, which tend to burn bridges, and whispers at the bar, which usually have little influence on greater public discourse.
