ForWorld Studios is an artist collective formed in 2021 by Francisco Corbett and William Carroll. Seeking collaboration, inclusivity, and connection, members of the collective use site-specific performances and programs to engage and benefit the local community.
Founding member William Carroll, who is on the autistic spectrum, experienced the lack of creative spaces for artists with disabilities in Katarokwi/Kingston. They felt this was a barrier to new voices or different perspectives, and that it led to a stagnant creative community. To address this, ForWorld aims to build accessibility into all they do.

ForWorld engages with communities within Katarokwi/Kingston by building connections, breaking down stigma, and advocating for the support artists need to create. One such project is their collaboration with Youth Diversion to offer art classes to at-risk youth.
Today, the collective is comprised of Corbett, Carroll, Browz, Cat Rose, Justin André, and Michaela Zinsmeister.
