🎁 Your donation helps kickstart a new kind of studio — one rooted in the real-world and producing experiences that are bottom-up, cooperative, improvisational, and intentionally offline.

Funds cover costs like space rentals, materials, food, artist stipends, instllation costs, etc. In 2025, your contiribution will support the debut projects:

when a friend knocks: Between March and September 2025, 150+ of us gathered across 14 events to play and make together. Each gathering was intentionally offline: nothing from it was fed to, or ever will feed, the algorithms. You can learn more about it here: https://friendknocks.my.canva.site/
what clings: the culmination of when a friend knocks. An immerise, interactive experience exploring a past we can never fully return to, offering evidence that collective making is still possible, and opening a portal back to our childhood.

Ethos

Community empowerment. We source locally as much as possible. Anyone can host an event. We rely on homes and public spaces, and collaborate with neighborhood businesses and artists.
Resisting the attention economy. No instagram, no tik tok. We raise awareness through less addictive tools: flyers, word of mouth, sms, community partnerships.
Questioning scale. Most events are intentionally intimate. Bigger does not mean more success. But sometimes, we might just host a 50+ person water balloon fight.
Physical presence required. The work lives offline. There’s no livestream. You had to be there.
No spectating. Everyone participates — by playing, building, creating. The host does everything the participants do.
