Collective
A network of artists, researchers, and knowledge holders united by shared commitment to transformation through collective practice.
Collective Authorship
Like fermentation itself, our work emerges from the interaction of diverse elements. We reject the myth of individual genius in favor of collective intelligence, understanding that the most profound transformations happen through collaboration across difference.
Each project is authored collectively, with credit shared among all contributors. We work to model the regenerative relationships we seek to cultivate in the world.

Extended Network
Beyond our core group, this project exists within a broader network of collaborators, advisors, and community partners who contribute their expertise, perspectives, and support to our ongoing work.
This includes indigenous communities, scientific institutions, arts organizations, environmental activists, and local food sovereignty groups around the world. Each project involves new configurations of collaboration, always with attention to power dynamics and equitable participation.
