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.

Not a Manifesto
The NEXUS Collective...
...is organized by and for communities that enable its existence.
...is committed to an intersectional engagement with worldly and transcendent circumstances.
...knows that art is political and can be uncomfortable.
...works with the willingness to reveal its own insecurities.
...understands art as a bodily practice.
...exists in the process between the "Past" and the "Yet to Come."
...shares its processes, tools, habits, patterns, and memories, circulating them with the awareness that these do not always need to be understood.
...knows that network-based work is, in fact, a parasitic, promiscuous, and sometimes uncomfortable practice.
...can dynamically change depending on available resources.
This is not a manifesto. It is a living document, constantly expanded by the voices and experiences of all involved.
