Groundwork

November 2023–June 2024
Canal Projects, New York

Groundwork was a seven-month library residency at Canal Projects, a non-profit contemporary art space in New York City. Over this period, the space grew as a collective workshop for learning and convening—gathering together friends, old and new, to think and transform together.

Canal Projects invited D🌍T to act as its own temporary transformation department, testing out, reflecting upon, collecting, and documenting the group’s ongoing efforts to change art institutions from within. The space served as a hybrid transformation library, yoga studio, workshop space, and karaoke temple. Through mindfulness sessions, reading groups, shared meals, karaoke, therapy tutorials, and more, Groundwork enacted the strategies of bumpiness, generosity, and juxtaposition that inform D🌏Ts experiential methods for collaborative knowledge production and dissemination.
