About
Who we are
SOCIAL CONVENTION is a creative studio and social enterprise on a mission to reimagine the way people experience art and culture.
We exist to nurture artists and audiences, and develop collections of original multi-artform performance work, experiences, and parties; setting them in experiential spaces that encourage the cathartic, the communal, and the transformative.
We believe in unconventional human magic.
