When thinking outside of the box just doesn’t cut it anymore, it’s time to forget the box entirely and create a completely new way of looking and thinking about things. Founded in April 2009 by six Montrealers who were tired of closed spaced conversations, our site is dedicated to looking at local arts and culture scenes in various communities around the world and the current events that affect us all.

Our team looks at these topics from a perspective that eliminates the artificial barriers that have been placed on and between them, in hopes of re-shaping their and your discourse into one that challenges the preconceptions and status quo. We aim to make this site an engaging alternative to monotonous tracts that pass for interesting and common ideas that are deemed for revolutionary in hopes of creating a global media collective of like-minded independent thinkers.

Forget The Box is an independent media collective that strives to provide a forum for unique voices and viewpoints that often find themselves excluded from the realm of traditional media and debate. In the face
of a corporate-dominated media landscape, where objectivity is often a thinly veiled cover for bias, we wear our views proudly and aim to provide media for the people, by the people.
