"We are All Monkeys" is a performance by Bjørn Venø, inspired by his personal experiences and beliefs. Throughout his life, Venø has experienced a duality in his personality: one part introverted and confined within his own mind, and the other extroverted, wishing to inspire and challenge people.

Venø believes that artists can create a liberating environment of play and exploration that can inspire thought and development.
