The Donbat Institute is a developing organisation. It is gradually taking shape through research, collaborations, interventions, transmission and concrete situations.
Supporting the Institute means helping to make possible an independent action-research practice that is attentive to social, economic, ecological, relational and institutional imbalances, and capable of devising situated responses.
Support can take many forms: financial, material, logistical, intellectual, institutional or relational. It is not merely a matter of helping an organisation to exist, but of participating in the creation of a shared space where means of action can be shared, tested and transmitted.
Why Support the Donbat Institute?
The Institute seeks to develop projects that do not always fit the conventional economic models of art, research or social action. Its activities may take the form of investigations, texts, workshops, interventions, publications, collective systems or economic experiments.
These forms require time, resources, spaces, tools and collaborations. Supporting the Institute helps create the conditions necessary for their development.
