This collective emerges from a shared desire to...

1. Complement and create new alternatives to the institutional circuits of contemporary art;


2. Expand the practice of art to territories and groups generally not included in the cultural landscape;


3. Investigate, create, and experiment with freer and more sustainable market models;


4. Reflect on the active role of artistic practice as an ongoing project that creates new imaginaries and community dynamics, and responds to current and future environmental and urban challenges;


5. Develop more accessible structures for research, documentation, and knowledge sharing (creative commons);


6. Diversify and enrich the socio-cultural fabric of a territory and its mutual support networks;


7. Create more horizontal and democratic art systems based on collaborative and transdisciplinary relationships;


8. Foster an artistic practice that is inclusive, experimental, emancipated, and critical.
