Firmly embedded in local genealogies of grassroots activism and anti/decolonial counterculture, and yet simultaneously interconnected, our case studies range from Palestine to South Africa, Indonesia, Hungary, the autonomous region of Rojava in northern Syria, Peru, and Italy.

In the following notes, the IMAGINART research group tackles the promises and predicaments of collective instituting in the fields of art and culture.
