Collective Agenda

Initiated in 2016, Collective Agenda explores the concerns raised by collective practices today.

In the frame of FIAC 2016, Council conceived the conference Art & Diplomacy, a program of conversations asking a single question: how can art influence diplomacy?

In 2017, the series of breakfast on hospitality Ghost Marmalade, commissioned by La Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris, took place in different Parisian art organisations, .

In 2019, Council curated Collectively, an international forum with 80 participants on the art of thinking, working and living together at Iaspis, Stockholm. From the forum, derived the publication Collectively. The contribution of texts in this publication is a polyphony of the participants’ different voices, perspectives and reflections.

Since September 2020, Grégory Castéra curator and co-director of Council, is the programme director of the post-master course Collective Practices at KKH, Stockholm.

Collective Agenda is a project by Council.
