The Stratum

The Stratum is a meeting point—a dynamic hub where art projects take shape through fluid collaborations and organizational structures that adapt to the specific dynamics and demands of each initiative.

The name The Stratum refers to the idea of layers, levels, or strata—each project presented here can be understood as a distinct yet interconnected layer within a shared artistic framework. These projects, while unique in their objectives and methodologies, emerge from a common foundation: the exploration of art as a relational and collaborative practice that interacts with local structures, communities, and environments.

Through The Stratum, new people, ideas, and institutions come together, building upon each other to create site-specific projects that respond to and challenge the realities of the contexts they inhabit. This platform fosters initiatives that experiment with self-management, reimagine the possibilities of collaborative practices, and cultivate relationships anchored in shared processes and mutual exchange.

The Stratum is not static—it grows, shifts, and mutates as new voices and perspectives add their weight, becoming part of a larger conversation about art, community, and change.

The projects featured on this platform—Outsider, The Migrant Assembly, and re-(t)exHile—embody this philosophy, each operating as a layer that contributes to a broader investigation into relational art practices, sustainability, and social engagement.
