Non Linear Narrative 2025 Graduate takeover # 5:
We are TogetherTogether (
@togethertogether.collective ), a research-based artistic collective driven by the need to resist individualism and alienation in contemporary society. Through collaborative practice, we create spaces for counter narratives that spark hope in a paranoiac world. Our work unfolds through embodied experiences, learning through the body, sharing stories, and building meaningful encounters for repairing social fabrics of care.
TogetherTogether is:

As artists and researchers, we are often asked to define an individual practice. But what happens when the practice is collective, rooted in togetherness?
“Practical proposals of what-might-be” responds to a society shaped by modernity and coloniality, where individualism is prioritized. In this context, coming together is a politicized experience for which we propose a language that suspends our belief and involvement in exploitative structures. The project exhibits an ongoing research into collective care through public gatherings and interventions, and unfolds in three interconnected pieces.
“Risking entanglement” is a site-specific installation, a playground where we exercise interdependence and rehearse ‘suspension’, not as a way of escaping modernity but as a method of resistance. The performance, “Whispering bodies: scores for the we”, tells a story about the search for collectivity, the joys and frictions of shaping a ‘collective body’, visualizing the intangible relations. “Moving words: a body glossary” presents video essays that explore how meaning is created through the body, becoming an archive of the research process and gestures that hold us together.
This project is both a proposal and a question: a space where we suspend productivism, reclaim agency, imagine futures, and ask what if?
