Remapping Collaborations Working Group

During the London Design Biennale 2023, the Nieuwe Instituut, in collaboration with Creative Industries Fund NL, brought together an (inter)national working group to research issues arising from this edition’s theme, The Global Game: Remapping Collaborations, and to develop tools and propose new ways of working for future international events.

In public work sessions and gatherings, both in London and Rotterdam, the Remapping Collaborations Working Group reflected on questions raised by past and current biennial models. What does (international) collaboration within a biennial event entail, and what are the interpersonal, institutional and bureaucratic dynamics that enable or hinder international collaboration?

Publication

How does (international) collaboration unfold within the context of biennales and other international events? In a new publication, presented at London Design Biennale 2025, the Remapping Collaborations Working Group presents its findings, tools and proposals. The publciation highlights how international cultural events can embrace unpredictability, opacity, and discomfort in their forms of collaboration.
