Our team:

Our small team is responsible for organisational and administrative tasks across our various projects. We, Ana Cecilia Brena, Chang Gao, Vanessa Gravenor, Mathilde ter Heijne, and Amy Patton, and Daniela Salazar collaborate with different partners for each project. A significant portion of our work involves close collaboration with fellow creators and a diverse array of knowledge keepers to explore the untapped potential between established systems and familiar modes of thinking. We define research as a multi-perspective interaction encompassing art, spirituality, the humanities, community experiences, and local activism. In this framework, art plays a crucial role by providing essential resources, tools, and opportunities to reshape the relationship between knowledge systems and the public.

We are an intersectional-feminist, artist-led initiative founded in 2020, that emerged from the feminist art collective ff (http://fffffff.org, active 2012-2018). Rooted in Berlin and with strong international connections, art&dialogue is an initiative in which artists shape both the long-term vision and the day-to-day business. However, we see ourselves neither as an exhibition space for solo projects by individual artists nor as a “neutral” white cube for classic exhibition concepts; instead, we act as committed and self-reflective art producers and organisers who are continuously working to further develop our artistic projects and working methods and make them visible in a variety of ways. Collaboration is fundamental for us, and we bring together a wide range of creative producers, academics and civil society actors in a variety of projects - both within and outside the art world. Through these interdisciplinary collaborations, we challenge conventional paradigms and societal notions of art, its audience, its presentation and cultural production. art&dialogue aims to facilitate both physical and digital encounters. Within the framework of our available resources, we support each other and create space for the creation, development and presentation of participatory and dialogic art. Our aim is to make these works accessible to as wide an audience as possible. A particular focus is on documenting and communicating the creative process, which is made visible in a variety of public formats and presentations - from knowledge exchange workshops and performative lectures to film screenings, book presentations and interactive games designed to stimulate creative conversations and interpersonal interaction. Although we run a project space in Berlin-Pankow for open workshops and smaller events, our work is deliberately designed to move as freely as the conversations we initiate - open, dynamic and not tied to fixed spaces.
