ReCompulsive Behaviours

Driven by the possibility of a world where artistic practice will bear no difference from socio-political behaviour, we are using art as a tool to foster communities and evoke change. Compulsively defending equal privileges, diversity and communal coexistence , we combine art production, activism, education and research towards social justice and the reclamation of the commons. Bringing together urban communities, students and scholars, public and private bodies, the collective undertakes the exploration and advocation of new ways that aim to awake social awareness, shift perspectives and shape active citizens, by artistic means. Recompulsive Behaviours collective was created as an attempt of resistance against the cultural and societal stereotypes, discrimination, individualism and the privatization of the commons. Our main activities include theatrical performances and public space interventions as well as educational programs and research groups that renegotiate the boundaries between action, participation, art, social reality, politics and community.
