Why Yoko?

Being experimental in the arts is as much about research and investigation of established forms of expression, as it is being playful and organic. Yoko Ono has access to this part of the creative process, mixing a precise intellect with a sense of random abandon.

Yoko’s mind finds its way inside you. She has a distinctive, refined and penetrating way of touching us. She is in contact with her soul, and reflects that in ours. She fights for the meaning of love, fellowship and peace. She helps herself wholeheartedly from her cultural heritage and adapts it into a universal voice.

There’s an optimism and joy in Yoko Ono’s thinking. There’s a great deal of humor lurking throughout her work, and she has retained a profound faith in humanity - despite what the world has shown her of its darkness.
