The Nonsite Collective is a collective of Bay Area visual artists, writers, activists, archivists, independent scholars, and non-traditional learners, all working together to stimulate new forms of collaboration and public participation around a range of interdisciplinary projects. The collective is not only committed to promoting new work, but to sustaining discussion about the projects it promotes. We do this through modes of self-organized pedagogy, whereby collectively proposed “curricula” become ongoing series of interrelated investigations, presentations, study groups, and events. This allows participants — artists and non-artists alike — to test new ideas, while developing shared vocabularies across disciplines, stimulating new forms of discourse around the inquiries that sustain our work. Thus Nonsite creates multiple points of leverage for ongoing cultural engagement and social action.

User tools and navigation

New look

Welcome to the new look and feel of the Nonsite Collective homepage. I've incorporated suggestions from a number of users on making the site easier to navigate from the front page, and I think you'll find an overview of just about everything you'd want to access on the site right here on a single page.

If the feedback continues to be generally positive, I think I'll begin migrating all of the site's content over to something like this panel-style layout and away from the multi-region layout we have now, with its array of menu bars, sidebar boxes, etc. Users have consistently found that setup confusing, so I'm inclined to go with something more like this (although stripped down a bit on the individual content pages).

Those changes will probably take a few weeks, so in the meantime we'll have a new and improved front page sitting on top of the old layout. It's a bit inconsistent, but I hope users will bear with me as I try to squeeze the additional changes in around my work schedule.
