The ‘Tentative Collective’ is a group of people who share resources to create interdisciplinary works of art in public places. These works hope to excite local imaginations and create new, inclusive, spaces for social engagement—in inherently ephemeral or tentative ways. Our projects strive to be collaborative, site sensitive, and open to a diverse range of participants. We tend to choose everyday
and left-over sites in urban settings, from dividing boundary walls to neglected inner city streets—we ask how one could re-invent makeshift, tentative and mundane opportunities in everyday urban life. In the process of marking these collective sites with conviviality, we leave behind additional layers of memory, and take away interdisciplinary learning about the way cities are lived.
