OUR MISSION
Ram & Leo Art Agency is a unique network and decentralized consultant-centered framework that reframes the value of art and art labor in the context of a sharing economy. We work to connect artists to places and sites of production and presentation, funding streams, and material and immaterial resources. And vice versa. We work in parallel to the traditional art market system. We balance the power structures of the status quo by developing tools and structures for the autonomous artist and independent art space by employing new technologies to our advantage that promote shared entity-ownership, management, decision-making, and distribution of profits. We are a hybrid - traditional business and Web3 community, and this is precisely what makes us unique. In very real terms, we work to rewire the broken circuits between artist, audience, and institution, while advocating for an ethical art economy and fair work practices.
OUR VALUES
We are a P2P network that connects artists to services, places, sites, and material and immaterial resources.
We believe in contra-flow, open knowledge, and egalitarian forms of access and exchange.
We work on the basis of abundance, resisting the scarcity of capital. We reject extractive practices and instead, support community wealth and health, no matter where we conduct our business in the world.
No matter if we are helping recent graduates to get their first job, secure mobility grants for queer and trans musicians, or empower minorities to use copyright law to their advantage, we ARE different.
As a collective of humans, we work to reframe HOW we value our labor and WHAT fair labor and exchange means in the context of a sharing economy.
Together, we unlock new points of access and connections in an operating system that functions to restrict our movement, our creativity, and our desires and ambitions.
We work against form and control.
We work to reframe what sustainability is.
We work to find commonalities through transgressions to the system.
We dream of justice, equality, and harmony, while always questioning the status quo, even when we ourselves, are the builders of this new system.
