EhChO embodies a practice, a program, and a promise.


EhChO assembles, hosts, records, archives, commissions, exchanges, resonates, affects, discusses, translates and proliferates the critical and creative production of artists, activists, researchers and organisers who share in its promise. 

As practice, it gathers sounds, words, plots and images that rehearse modes of existing and imagining otherwise, and that undermine and expose the violence of the modern political architecture. 

As a program, it gathers artistic interventions committed to decolonization. These interventions may take the form of study groups, seminars, online meetings, and public events. 

As a promise, EhChO envisions global existence without the violence that supports the needs of global capital, which operates in the symbolic and institutional mechanisms of extraction and expropriation. 

Towards this ethico-political goal, it fosters a sensibility that refuses to naturalize the current social and ecological catastrophes impacting those subjected to colonial, racial, and cisheteropatriarchal subjugation. It also experiments with non-extractive practices and  creative protocols, establishing critical partnerships with institutions and art-organizations willing to collaborate towards this goal. The artworks and practices welcomed here are passages, bridges and transfers, they walk through languages ​​and translations, between media and mediations.

It also invites you to take part in the re-distribution of material and immaterial resources as a solidary practice through the Support buttons at the end of each contribution and towards the platform itself.
