The Slanted Collective
Slanted is held by a rotating collective made up of artists and collaborators we have previously worked with across productions, developments, and Showcases.
The collective grows organically through practice. Artists may be invited to take on producing, creative, or support roles on future projects after working with Slanted, based on interest, trust, and capacity. Decisions about new projects, collaborations, and collective involvement are typically considered at quarterly meetings, ensuring the work remains care-led, sustainable, and aligned.
Contributors step in when they are available, pause when life or work becomes full, and return when timing allows. Because Slanted works across cities, much of our communication and planning happens online.
Who We Work With
We support artists across the Asian diaspora, including South Asian, East Asian, Southeast Asian, West Asian/Middle Eastern, and bi- or multi-racial artists. Since 2021, Slanted has collaborated with over 200 Asian-identifying artists across Australia.
