Digital Solidarity Platform for the Global South

More of Us emerged from our experience as members of Arts Collaboratory, a translocal ecosystem of twenty-five organizations situated in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and the Netherlands. Is the attempt of More of Us to translate and expand the ethos of Arts Collaboratory to a wider audience, and aims to shift perspectives, deepen understanding, and inspire people toward collective action. More of Us focuses on art practices, processes of social change, and working with communities beyond the field of art. The network operates as an active ecosystem, where knowledge and strengths are brought together and harvested in processes of collective organization. For the Web Residency »Solidarity is a verb« More of Us shares an initiating  issue entitled »Solidarity.«
