Documentation from "Practicing Collectivity"

Bringing together collective enterprises mh PROJECT nyc, Mutual Aid Projects, and Northeast by Southeast, "Practicing Collectivity: Conversation with Francis Estrada, Eric Goh, Mayumi Hayashi, and Eugenie Tsai" on July 13 sought to explore alternative ways of organizing outside of institutional frameworks. By considering how each collective uses exhibition-making as a means of experimenting with ideas and fostering friendships, this conversation aimed to question how we think about community and the way collectives operate over time and in the face of challenges like the pandemic.

Following short introductions on the mission of their respective projects, Francis Estrada (Northeast by Southeast) and Mayumi Hayashi (mh PROJECT nyc) joined moderator Eugenie Tsai for a conversation on the shifting nature of friendship, community, and collectivity.
