Characterized by spontaneous expression, stream of conscious writing, cut up word collage, sexual liberation, spiritual exploration and the rejection of standard narrative values. Artists have been encouraged to create work that celebrates the larger scope of the Beat Ge, not just Kerouac, but also techniques of the era and the works of his contemporaries.
