About

Hands-on is a learning platform for visual art, cultural practice, and critical exchange, working across online and offline formats.

Initiated as a nomadic curatorial project focused on temporary, site-specific exhibitions, it has since grown into an expanded ecosystem for contemporary art and its players aimed at fostering translocal dialogue, embodied knowledge, and collective reflection.

At its core, Hands-on is committed to unsettling dominant cultural frameworks and epistemologies, particularly those shaped by Eurocentric, colonial, and extractive systems of thought. Through interdisciplinary and collaborative formats, it seeks to amplify practices that engage with memory, displacement, situated narratives, and the politics of visibility.
