The collective

Who we are

Our work is self-determined and values-led. We are invested in social and ecological justice and in the radical potential of bodies — individual and collective.,Beyond the core collective, we build relationships with artists, programmers, curators, academics and others working with movement and embodiment. We are interested in devolved power, flexible structures and finding responsive ways to support and platform artists.
