Topic points

This agenda focuses on clarifying the group’s shared purpose and defining practical pathways for collaboration. Discussion will address how the group is described, what participation entails for institutions, labs, and independent spaces, and how to maintain openness through accessible structures such as regular meetings, working groups, and open calls. The agenda also outlines near-term, low-lift collaborative actions alongside longer-term initiatives requiring infrastructure and funding, including micro-residencies, shared commissions, and distributed programs. A proposed motion calls for developing one collective project for 2026, with attention to hosting capacities, member contributions, and aligned funding strategies, including joint applications, co-authored proposals, exchanges, and public programs.
