iCollective

iCollective is a collaborative platform of artists, curators and researchers working at the intersection of arts, urban interventions and socially engaged projects from a feminist perspective.

We explore the interaction between individual experiences and collective ideas, recombining the notions of private and public. From a situated, artistic approach we develop strategies that encourage citizens to re-imagine the city fostering commoning, inclusion and empathy.

iCollective started in 2009 when we met in Berlin. Informal chats became passionate discussions, in which we shared our interest in intertwining our artistic work with the context we were living in, in a collective way.

Over the years, iCollective has developed projects locally and globally. In Berlin we regularly organize the Who Cares? Feminist Art Festival about care work, and Urbane Künste ERbeLEBEN, which aims to bring young people’s perspective on city development into the public sphere.

iCollective has also presented artworks in several international frameworks such as the parallel events of Manifesta 8 and 9, 48-Hours Neukölln Festival, OpenArt Örebro, Buenos Aires Museums Night, Schmiede, and the School of Intermedia Art in Hangzhou.

We work in the following areas: participation strategies, installations, workshops and public talks, and educational projects.
