Entwined w/ Collective Memories

Collective Memories is an itinerant curatorial project born from a desire to gather with artists from diverse backgrounds and locations. As a performer engaged in this field, the project naturally grew out of my own artistic path, driven by a genuine curiosity to connect with others whose intentions resonate, and to explore our respective works and practices more deeply.


The space envisioned for Collective Memories is not a fixed physical site but a conceptual framework that encourages initiative, dialogue, and exchange among the artists involved. This approach allows the programme to evolve organically, adapting to each specific context while maintaining its core integrity.


In shaping this programme, I sought to address questions that echo my own concerns within the field: How can we broaden access to resources? To what extent can personal integrity remain aligned with one’s artistic practice ? And how might this relationship operate in dialogue with sustainability?


Ultimately, I hope the project will help cultivate a shared commitment to building together, embracing both the challenges and the possibilities that collective work entails.
