Founded with the conviction that living transcultural artistic experiences contribute to the betterment of humankind, OBORO* is an artist-run centre that favors the development of art practices locally, nationally, and internationally. OBORO’s sphere of activity encompasses visual and media arts, performing arts, new technologies, and emerging practices.

OBORO’s more specific mandate is to support creation in various cultural practices; to encourage innovation, experimentation, the exchange of ideas, and the sharing of knowledge. OBORO’s objective is to promote awareness and dialogue within the art world and society at large and to contribute to a culture of peace.

* The name “OBORO” appeared in a dream and in a poem by Claude-Marie Caron. “OBORO” evokes the ancient myth of the “ouroboros”, the dragon-snake that swallows its tail and symbolizes transformation, renewal and a universe in continuous evolution.
