Our journey begins here.

In our time, rituals seem to have gone underground. Transformed themselves into everyday habits that guide us without our even noticing.

Rite Agency seeks out various ritual spaces of our society, in search of rites and rituals that, in secret, have taken possession of the gaps and hollows in the societal body.

On this page, we’ve listed some of the spaces that capture our interest; spaces we hope to open up. Sometimes to let in just a little light, and other times to explore in depth.

The Ritual Spaces

What are the invisible rituals and patterns of thought that sustain the status quo in society’s various ritual spaces – such as the realms of work, law, economy, faith, art, or learning?

In what ways do our everyday ritual behaviours render invisible any possibility for profound change and transformation? How can unseen rituals be reimagined to unlock the configuration of these spaces? How can new rites be initiated within them to create openings for alternative ways of thinking, disruptions, escape routes, and new possibilities for action?

To seek answers to these complex questions, we at Rite delve into the ritual spaces themselves, exploring them for insights and possibilities.
