The Anté Dote
The witnesses were asked, in turn, what they saw. Each, covering their eyes, pronounced "Nothing but the inside of my own hands".
The "guilty" verdict was delivered unanimously and without contest. The sentence was to hold their guilt in their hands, even while still holding them over their faces, and that it would grow heavier and darker every year. It was a life-sentence.
The Anté Dote
Anté is up for collaborations, performances, experiments, explorations and deviations.

*This artist does not use Instagram for his solo projects. He has no interest in benefiting yet another US corporation which makes almost no positive or financial contribution to anywhere else in the world, yet makes millions from our increased tribalism and narcissism, our decreased empathy and our expensive attention - and of course our personal data. It's even worse now that they use our (free) content to develop AIs which all evidence so far shows are being used to create the worst of all possible dystopian futures. And, as we are seeing, presents.I know it is inconvenient... but corporations run the world by convenience. But if we want a revolution, some of us have to start writing and LIVING a different, more difficult but much more rewarding script.If you would like to support this art, in the real sense of the word, and ensure it continues to be able to exist in the world without compromise, please consider doing so directly on via (currently) the Patreon. You can become a patron of the arts for as little as 2 Euros a month.

KUKUSIMBISA
('to empower you')
This new book came into being by request, and was thus lovingly crafted not as a commercial release, but as a 'thank you' gift back for those who lent fuel to the fire of its creation with their love and support.Collecting together works performed from the last three years, it captures the time in specially (and pain-stakingly!) hand-written renditions. Anté's artwork and concept was then faithfully captured by wonderful designer José Rojas with a magnifcent attention to detail and effect, and then sent for bounding into a beautiful artifact.The book is a special limited-edition, limited-run print which is (only) available directly. There are no plans for a reprint.
WHO IS THE ANTE DOTE?
A spoken word artist (that is: an artist who speaks words), through various incarnations, sabbaticals and resurrections. some of them ongoing.A spoken word artist. What is that?Often asked, his reply is usually, "It's like stand-up comedy. But without the comedy. And actually I usually prefer to sit.""Ah, so you're a poet?""There's no need to be rude (but yes, sort of, I guess, kinda, if you squint and waive some of the usual qualifications...)"Anté prefers to think of himself as a story-teller, with the only requirement being that the stories are true (regardless of whether they happened or not), beautiful (at least in the eye of the beholding story-teller) and open to interpretatiion (at least in the mind of the receiving listener). Anything else, including grammar, spelling or 'meaning', is free game.Anté is finding it increasingly weird and disorientating describing himself in the third person, so let's see this from Bucht der Traumer Festival programme:"The Anté Dote doesn't just raise his voice- he sharpens it into a tool for survival, protest and empowerment. Expect fast-tongued truths, punchlines that sting, and poetry laced with politics, love and (com)passion, crafted for those who know that silence is never neutral."+++++++Consent is NOT given for use of any materials whatsoever by this artist for "AI", "machine-learning", bots or any other automated or artificial use, including anything on this website.
