A nomadic research and curatorial platform. Exploring how cultural practices move and morph across time.
Our
Vision
We believe that cultural memory is not fixed. It is carried through stories, rituals, craft, food, sound and other forms of knowledge passed between generations.
Collision of Temporalities explores these cultural practices as living forms of knowledge. They shape how we understand, experience and connect with the world, carrying ways of sensing, imagining, remembering and relating that can be transformed, adapted and passed on across time.
Our curatorial practice looks across the wider spectrum of human and ecological experience. Through research, exhibitions and public programmes, we develop creative practices that reconnect with cultural knowledge while exploring new ways of engaging with it.
At a time when our experiences and relationships are increasingly mediated by digital technologies, we are interested in creating spaces that encourage more attentive, embodied and meaningful ways of perceiving, connecting and imagining.
We bring together different temporalities, cultures and forms of knowledge to explore what is carried forward, what is forgotten, and what new possibilities can emerge from their encounter.
We challenge fixed ideas of heritage and culture as static or contained within specific places.
We understand traditions as living forms of knowledge, shaped by movement, migration, exchange and encounter. Rather than treating cultural practices as isolated artefacts from the past, we explore the connections, overlaps and shared histories that exist across communities. We recognise that traditions have origins, while also acknowledging how they transform, adapt and gain new meanings over time.
Our research explores how knowledge travels, disappears and reappears, and how contemporary artistic practice can reactivate different ways of knowing. Memory is understood as one of the many ways through which knowledge is transmitted—not as a fixed record of the past, but as something continuously shaped through experience, interpretation and exchange.
Collision of Temporalities approaches research and curatorial practice through ecological thinking, feminist methodologies and queer perspectives, understanding culture as fluid, relational and constantly evolving.
