Critical Mass

Critical Mass is a blogging project that encourages arts experts, audiences, critics and the general public to participate in critical writing and discussions about arts and cultural events in Queensland. Critical Mass uses social- and new- media tools such as a blog, Twitter, and Facebook to foster rich cultural conversations about the arts.

The project asks: What happens when we ask a broad range of people to sit in the critic’s seat, curate their own online discussions and use major events such as festivals to engage a wide audience with their critical writing?

Contributors to Queensland’s cultural scene have been invited to participate in the project and write about their experiences and perceptions of productions in and around the state’s arts and cultural events.  Like most arts critics, the Critical Mass contributors receive complimentary tickets to ticketed productions and access to some rehearsals and workshops; however, the views expressed by the participants represent their own personal views and are not the views of the Queensland Government or the festival.
 
Critical Mass is a partnership between Queensland Music Festival, Brisbane Festival, and Arts Queensland.
