🎯 Objective

Stichting 7th Gen Creatives is a production house operating at the intersection of art, community, and social struggle. Guided by the Seventh Generation Principle — the idea that our choices and actions must have sustainable impact for the seven generations after us — we build an autonomous infrastructure in which makers can realise their projects on their own terms.

Our work is rooted in the experiences of colonised communities and in the ongoing impact of colonial power structures today. When we speak of marginalised communities, we refer to people and groups who continue to bear the consequences of colonial history in the form of structural exclusion, cultural disruption, and inequity. Our productions depart from these lived experiences and contribute to emancipation, liberation, and decolonisation — in the arts, in culture, and across broader social movements.

🧭 Mission & Vision

Our mission is to use art as a tool for social change. We are building an infrastructure in which creatives from colonised communities can tell their own stories and actively contribute to emancipation and collective liberation.

Our vision is grounded in three pillars (as described in our policy plan):

Community Driven

Our work is driven by community engagement, community building and community relationships. We see our productions as a means of strengthening the social movement for the emancipation and liberation of colonised communities.

Centering the Marginalized

Our productions are developed by and for people from colonised communities, grounded in their lived experiences and perspectives, without the need to relate to a white normative framework.

Creative Innovation

Our productions reach beyond established artistic boundaries; we innovate across genres, connect art forms and push creative limits.

⚙️ Activities

1. Artistic productions

We develop and support artistic productions that explore social issues from the perspectives of colonised communities. These productions are created in collaboration with creatives who work from within their own communities — through shared lived experience, cultural background or social struggle. The impact of this work lies in strengthened relationships, knowledge, and movement-building, rather than in numerical output.

2. Guidance for creatives

We provide careful, small-scale guidance in developing project ideas, project plans, and funding applications. This support is demand-driven and funded through coordination hours included in each project budget.

3. Contribution to public and sector-wide debates

We participate in conversations and initiatives within the cultural field that align with our vision of decolonisation and representation. We make visible how colonial structures continue to shape contemporary cultural practices and contribute to broader movements striving for justice, equity, and autonomy within the sector.

🔮 Future Vision

Between 2025 and 2027, 7th Gen Creatives aims to continue growing as an autonomous production house that provides space for creatives to contribute structurally to social justice. We invest in sustainable partnerships, artistic depth, and stronger networks.

We focus on creating conditions in which creatives can develop and present their work on their own terms — within and beyond existing institutions. By deepening relationships and processes, rather than expanding them, we build a sustainable infrastructure that strengthens the artistic and social impact of our productions and carries forward into the seven generations after us.
