The primary objectives for the CCARe research group is to cultivate and showcase ongoing and new critical artistic research thinking through activities such as exhibitions, residencies, conferences, public talks, exchange programs/fellowships, and community based initiatives, in order to complicate existing conversations within the field as well as open it up to the new discourses.

To initiate new partnerships with other institutions and cultural bodies working with critical artistic research creating support networks and open collaborative spaces to challenge existing methodological frameworks of critical and artistic knowledge production.

To expand and disseminate ideas related to critical theory and social justice in order to widen the scope of artistic and research projects through courses, workshops, and publications with the intention of opening up new spaces for such dialogues and discourses.
