The Kite Collective

Mission / Misión

The Kite Collective is a group of friends that uses kites to connect with the environment, each other and the self in a playful & universal way. Our creative practice is grounded in the use of kites as a physical outlet for finding pause & centeredness; the exploration of urban open space; and ancient tactile process. Born in NYC, we're now based in Chicago and wherever the wind blows.
