NEXUS CollectiveAbout

The NEXUS (1) Collective was founded in 2024 out of a shared passion for design and the drive to rethink societal structures. We explore how collective creative processes can help challenge existing norms and create and communicate new, alternative realities, as we perceive the dominant concept of reality as oppressive and exploitative.

Through interdisciplinary collaboration among people who work together both on a project basis and in the long term, a variety of projects are expected to emerge. As a collective, we continuously learn and grow through our exchange with one another.

The goal of the NEXUS Collective is to serve as a platform for young, creative individuals to connect and learn from one another. We promote the exchange and collaboration of people from different disciplines to develop joint projects.

This website is organically evolving into a living archive and a space for exchanging ideas and creative impulses. With a transdisciplinary and holistic approach, it aims to provide diverse insights into central cultural, social, and ecological issues of our time and to stimulate unexpected connections between themes, ideas, and practices.

(1) Nexus comes from Latin and means: connection, link, intertwining, to bind together, network.
