Fermenting

For some people it’s a very busy period and for other living beings—like the trees and bees—it’s a time for shedding and resting. For me, this moment feels rather nostalgic, as I will be covering the themes of fermentation, reflection and composti

Welcome to the Basecamp

In this blog I, Angelina Kumar, artist and fellow pioneer for positive change, will attempt, bi-weekly, to capture and share glimpses and insights of the brave and ever evolving journey that is unfolding at the Basecamp for tactical Imaginaries.

Basecamp offers itself as site and structure towards intimacy, critique, exploration, possibility, and action.
