2010 saw the first instalment of our now iconic Adhocracy, a conceptual gift from departing Artistic Director Jane Fuller to the incoming Emma Webb. Emma remained as Artistic Director of Vitals for almost a decade and a half, her creative, progressive and fearless leadership has steering vital cultural and community conversations through the organisation’s multidisciplinary contemporary art and public engagement activities
During this time, Vitals undertook long-term social practice projects such as Cutaway, Climate Century and Bodies of Work; fostered sisterly relationships with artist-run collectives and contemporary performance presenters around Australia; and supported the careers of South Australian, national and international artists with a focus on women, gender diverse, First Nations, queer, and other under-represented artists.
In 2014, we celebrated our 30th birthday.
