Documenting life in search of transforming societies with artists.
.
Since 2019, we have documented the visions of artists who bear witness to our present and contribute to narrating a collective History for the future.
We support artists from diverse social, political, and cultural contexts, through video art, documentary films, and live cinema performances that connect artists with audiences by creating shared experiences in the present.
We create documentary art that goes beyond mere observation, fostering cultural encounters to cultivate collective knowledge about our diverse lived realities.
