Our values

At 395, our values are not just statements — they are living principles. Born from the margins and built with our own hands, we exist to protect, platform, and co-create with underrepresented communities. Our space is more than a venue — it’s a field of care, connection, and cultural power.

Radical Inclusion

We actively welcome people of all backgrounds — especially those excluded elsewhere. Queer, global majority, neurodivergent, disabled, working-class, and immigrant artists are not an afterthought — they are our foundation.

Creative Autonomy with Collective Care

We protect creative autonomy through openness, DIY infrastructure, and mutual respect. From the dance floor to the studio, we foster expression without ego — and back it with shared responsibility, accessibility, and safer space culture.

Community Over Industry

We centre people, not profits. We prioritise connection, collective growth, and mutual respect over competition or hype. Our space runs on relationships.

Symbolic and Practical Power

We operate at the intersection of art, ritual, tech, and social change. Our systems are both visionary and grounded — integrating sound, light, story, and code to activate healing, connection, and future-building.
