Nsumi is an experimental art
collective, formed in 2001, and active since 2002. Our work focuses
on collective intelligence and emerging forms of grassroots,
collective organization. Recent projects explore formal
decentralization and politically-engaged art, in the form of
trainings, workshops, think tanks, curricula, and street actions.
Nsumi's membership is fluid, expanding and contracting as needed,
morphing into other groups or spawning new offshoot collectives or
networks, openly or clandestinely, for short or long durations,
responsive to and in relation with our environment. Nsumi’s common
interest is exploring the creative capacity of social networks and
experimental groups. We produce and participate in exhibitions and
events, and conduct research on public art, fine arts pedagogy and
emerging collaborative practices. Nsumi creates collaborative artwork
combining planning and architecture, social engagement, and systems
design.
