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.

Stone SoupHow can collective cooking become a space for resistance? What forms of care, sharing, and responsibility can emerge when people cook together? Which roles, dynamics, and hierarchies surface in the process? And how might these moments open up space for reflection, connection, or quiet disruption?

These are some of the questions at the heart of the performance. The piece uses food as an artistic medium, not only symbolically, but as an active, collective gesture. Participants are not just spectators, but co-creators; art becomes a shared, transformative experience.

Together, under unusual conditions, we will prepare a shared meal, cooking not just as nourishment, but as a practice of care, co-creation, and subtle (or not so subtle) political expression.

You don’t need any performance experience to participate, just a love for cooking and a curiosity to explore together.
