conscious intervention ‍

Conscious Intervention is a collective experiment in imagination, courage, and fidelity to what could exist but doesn’t, yet.

It begins from a simple truth: people are the experts of their own lives, and their lived experience is the foundation for understanding a place, its tensions, and its possibilities.

The artistic research practice deliberately breaks away from traditional research models that separate the “researcher” from the “researched”. Instead of treating people as subjects to be observed, the practice treats people as collaborators whose insights, emotions, and stories guide the direction of the work.

The practice is informed and builds knowledge through listening and one-on-one conversations that reveal the conditions that shape how participants live, connect, and navigate their realities. As these stories accumulate, they form an oral history of a community in a specific moment in time. A textured, nuanced understanding that no survey or external analysis could produce.

This collective knowledge becomes the starting point for imagining new ways of relating.

From here, the practice proposes interventions: temporary, evolving, context-shaped experiments designed to interrupt familiar systems and allow people to experience themselves and others differently.

Participants return to test prototypes, offer feedback, and influence each next iteration. The process remains fluid, iterative, and grounded in the realities of the people who make it possible.

This is not research done on people.
It is artistic research done with them.

A shared process. A living archive that produces knowledge and expands possibilities.

A practice of collectively reconsidering what it means to be human.
One conscious intervention at a time.
