Research & Development Studio Model
A creative research studio at the intersection of indigenous histories and intuitive futures. Through our cooperative practice and intercommunal services we aim to inspire the public into innovative-ancient ways of being. We be in community, through arts, and towards a vision informed by intuition, context, and ancestors.
As a cooperative, community-based studio we staff up to deliver studio services and complete studio projects through the guidance of ITS-IN-SCOPE founding archive caretaker, Marvin James.
Studio Ethos
: A reverence and adherence to contextualized wisdoms of our ancestors.
: In advocacy for another new world. An embrace informed by a re-membering of pre- and post-colonial possibilities. An acceptance that our current model is not sustainable and imagining anew is inevitable.
: A curiosity-rewarding artistic practice that begins with re-membering by re-searching and continues through interdisciplinary creative making.
: Beyond the conceptual lies the actionable. We research with Care of The Land towards open-sourced models that may inform the development of ecosystems of abundance (shared enoughness).
