Mapping Collective Cultural Practice

Collectives often struggle with visibility and credibility, as their practice is not understood clearly. Part of this problem is, that there is no clear language to describe the specific features of collectivity.

We aim at solving this problem collectively: By creating a GLOSSARY OF COLLECTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE, we collect different voices from the field and make them comparable. The glossary gathers self-descriptions from collectives and identifies communal topics. This evolving lexicon helps both cultural policymakers and grassroots initiatives articulate the significance of collective work.
