THE MINISTRY OF THE KORDADA INC. IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT OF THE WEIRD AND WONDERFUL, INTENDED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO, REVITALIZE, AND PARTNER AND FLOURISH WITH, LOCAL ARTISTIC ENCLAVES AND FORGOTTEN PEOPLES AROUND THE WORLD. TMOK WAS BORN OUT OF THE DESIRE BY A SMALL GROUP OF LOS ANGELINOS TO BREATH LIFE, ART, AND BEAUTY BACK INTO A DISTRESSED COMMUNITY, BOMBAY BEACH, CA.BOMBAY BEACH IS A SMALL TOWN OF 300 RESIDENTS THAT RESIDES ON THE SHORES OF THE SALTON SEA. THE SALTON SEA IS A LOOMING ECOLOGICAL DISASTER, FILLED WITH TOXINS SUCH AS ACCUMULATED DRIFTING WASTE AND LIFELESS ROTTING SEA CREATURES. THE BIENNALE PROGRAM SEEKS TO BRING ATTENTION AND RESOURCES TO BOMBAY BEACH. THE FOUNDERS OF TMOK HAVE PURCHASED LAND IN THE TOWN, THAT WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR USE, BY TMOK ARTISTS AND CREATIVES IT SUPPORTS. THE INTENT IS TO REHABILITATE AND ENHANCE THESE SPACES IN ORDER TO CREATE PERMANENT WORKS OF INTERACTIVE ART THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY LOCALS AND VISITOR'S YEAR- ROUND.

TMOK WAS BORN OUT OF THE DESIRE BY A SMALL GROUP OF LOS ANGELINOS TO BREATH LIFE, ART, AND BEAUTY BACK INTO A DISTRESSED COMMUNITY, BOMBAY BEACH, CA THROUGH THE BIENNALE ART FESTIVAL.THE UNDERLYING EMPHASIS OF THE FESTIVAL IS TO ENHANCE THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT IN ORDER TO BRING INTRINSIC VALUE BACK TO THIS ONCE-POPULAR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DESTINATION. THE KORDADA WILL CONTINUE WITH ITS EFFORTS TO FUND RAISE FOR THE FUTURE BIENNALES WITH THE GOAL TO INCREASE THE DONATION POOL, THE PER DONOR AMOUNT, AND THE TOURIST NUMBERS TO THE TOWN FOR LOCAL COMMERCE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PUT A TIMELINE OR ANY STATISTICS TO THE DERIVED BENEFIT OF THE UNDERLYING PROGRAM, AS IT IS ALSO HIGHLY IMPROBABLE, DUE TO ITS ENVIRONMENT, THAT BOMBAY BEACH WILL RETURN TO ITS ONCE UPON A TIME "DESTINATION" STATUS IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE. BUT A GOOD EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO PUT IT BACK ON THE MAP AND PROVOKE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE ECOLOGICAL ISSUES IT FACES.
IN SEPTEMBER 2019 TMOK LAUNCHED A FUNDRAISING PROGRAM TO FUND A NEW TRASH COLLECTION SERVICE FOR BOMBAY BEACH, AS CURRENTLY THERE IS NO SERVICE PROVIDED. MANY OF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS ARE ELDERLY AND HAVE NO ACCESS TO BASIC SANITATION SERVICES. THROUGH THIS TRASH COLLECTION PROGRAM, WE HOPE TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE SANITARY AND HYGIENE STANDARDS, AND TO CREATE AWARENESS OF PROPER DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING METHODS. SUCH ACTIONS ARE INTENDED TO SUPPORT AND NURTURE THE GROWING COMMUNITY OF ARTISTS AND CREATORS THAT INHABIT, RESIDE OR VISIT BOMBAY BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AND IN TURN MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF LOCALS WHO HAVE LIVED WITH NO SERVICES FOR MANY YEARS.
