Who are we?

CULTIVATE is an evolving collection of interdisciplinary artists, writers, and researchers driven by investigations of land, place, and the commons. Projects include experimental and practical art explorations that wrestle with the qualities, perceptions, and layers of experience that inform and expand notions of landscape. Ideas from a full spectrum of voices across generations are supported using sustainable tactics. From the hyper-local to the global, Cultivate reflects individual and collective curiosity, intention, imagining, and engagement with the phenomena of landscape.

Cultivate is currently Inga Bragadottir, Maggie Gourlay, Katie Kehoe, Susan Main, Claire McConaughy, Murat Cem Mengüç, MJ Neuberger, Lynn Silverman, Elzbieta Sikorska, and Sue Wrbican.
