Research & Development Studio Projects
The outcomes of our studio practice are projects varying in form and scale that are developed in service to our mission of contextualizing our histories, imagining our futures, and grounding us in the now.

To announce their presence and archive their impact, the artist community and non-profit Quiet sought our support in archiving the experiences of artists within their community and developing our research into a publishing around the 5 “cultural currencies” that served as the foundation for the work they did. In an effort to open-source their learnings from over 8 years of operations, we worked with their founder and core team to produce Quiet magazine. Along the way we interviewed over 20 members of their community and spent countless hours in thoughtful conversation and distillation to develop the 200+ page publishing available today.
It exists as both a reflection of their organizational impact and serves to inspire as a model for abundance practice for other arts non-profits seeking to a creative antidote for the challenges of our time.
