Our work ranges from art and film to ecology and regenerative agriculture. We are based in Amsterdam and work internationally. Together with our Congolese sister organisation le Cercle d’Art des Travailleurs de Plantation Congolaise (CATPC) we develop an ecological, inclusive post-plantation, inspired and financed by art.
