We, united by the spirit of creative freedom, collectivity, and artistic experimentation, proclaim this manifesto as the foundation of our Union. We believe that art belongs to everyone and is created by all.

1. Fundamental Principles

1.1. Art is free. No one can forbid art, just as no one can force its creation.
1.2. The artist has the right to make mistakes, and the collective has the right to reassess.
1.3. Anyone is an artist if they feel the need to create.
1.4. Art does not have to be beautiful, but it has the right to be ugly.
1.5. Art does not have to be understandable, but it has the right to be meaningful.
1.6. Any collective artwork belongs not only to its creators but also to the world.

2. On the Collective and Collaboration

2.1. Collective work generates new meanings that cannot be reached alone.
2.2. Every member of the Union has the right to individual self-expression within the collective.
2.3. Conflict is a form of art. In argument, truth is not born, but a new performance is.
2.4. We respect the boundaries of others, but we have the right to explore them.
2.5. Participation in collective projects should not become routine, but it may become ritual.

3. On the Material and the Immaterial

3.1. Art can be sold, but inspiration cannot be bought.
3.2. The artist has the right to poverty, but art has the right to luxury.
3.3. Every member of the collective has the right not to understand why we are doing this.
3.4. No one can forbid an artist from stopping their work, but anyone has the right to persuade them to continue.

4. On the World and Time

4.1. Art can change the world, but the world has the right not to notice.
4.2. Yesterday’s art can become today’s waste, but waste has the right to become art.
4.3. No one can own art, but art can own anyone.
4.4. Time destroys art, but art destroys time.

5. On the Right to Absurdity

5.1. The artist has the right to be illogical, but the collective has the right to disagree.
5.2. Art may mean nothing, but it always means something.
5.3. Absurdity is a method. Method is absurdity.

6. Final Provision

We acknowledge that this manifesto may be changed, rewritten, and supplemented by anyone who considers themselves part of the Union. Art is a process, not a dogma.

We create, therefore we exist.
