The Transformations Project
The Transformations Project is a national project from the National Arts Centre in which live performance companies from across Canada are asking some of their favourite artists to approach the question:
“What would it take to transform our society for the betterment of all?”
The project grew out of a desire among many arts workers for our country to move towards a Universal Basic Income – something that so many Canadian citizens have now experienced a taste of through the Canada Emergency Response Benefit. In the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, CERB saved careers, homes and families in Canada.
