Our programs are long–term experiments that help us better understand the areas of creative practice, education, and cultural infrastructure.

Programs are designed to create contexts, foster knowledge, and gain experience in ways that get us closer to understanding the root causes of large-scale problems.

Our approach is to remain curious and view problems not as obstacles, but as opportunities to learn and grow. This methodology informs how we strengthen existing programs and experiment in new areas.

People need new tools to work with rather than tools that ‘work’ for them.
