Along the Appian Way, enslaved, alone, hopeless and condemned, histories have shown us time and again that a simple idea of one mere mortal can sometimes cross insurmountable thresholds and spread like uncontrollable wildfire, bring down empires, break iron fists, renew our rigor mortis perspectives and ultimately provide head space for shaping a different future.

To commemorate such tragically heroic aspiration, ARE YOU SPARTACUS is a project coalescing television, education programme, exhibition & art prizes, to ask a simple question where any attempt for an answer will require one to bear the risks of re-examining our fundamental relationship not only to the world, but most importantly with ourselves: a state of psychological nakedness, the realisation of the fear that’s been dictating the narrative up until now. Fear of pain, fear of change, fear of the unknown which has led us to a here without now and consequently, without future.

Are You Spartacus hopes to foment change to the new dark age that is currently underway. Spartacus' body was never found.
