How can cross-disciplinary art serve generations to come, leaving a fragrance that calls people back to their shapeshifting truth?

What happens when disciplines like physics, policy, and music collide in sustained creative collaboration?

Les Shapeshifters is a research laboratory residency in the making dedicated to fundamentally re-wilding and re-rooting models of collaboration and knowledge-production by inspiring a shapeshifting approach to cross-industry collaborations - the focus is on generating meaning at the cross roads. How can cross-disciplinary art serve generations to come, leaving a fragrance that calls people back to their shapeshifting truth? What happens when disciplines like physics, policy, and music collide in sustained creative collaboration?

Shapeshifting embraces an exploration of the world through novel, disobedient, and nomadic perspectives, encouraging unrestricted experimentation and expression. Our approach is grounded in collaboration, plurality, and symbiosis - speculating a future where creativity flourishes through entanglements. 

At a time when questions of identity, interconnectedness, and ecological survival dominate our cultural horizon, approaches that restore coherence among isolated knowledge systems reveal a resilience capable of meeting the scale of the challenge. 

All of our work is yearning to expand our understanding of how cross-disciplinary collaboration generates meaning, fosters dialogue, and supports human flourishing. Plurality in research and outcome is not a liability but a catalyst: where multiple disciplines converge, transformative breakthroughs emerge, unlocking a beautiful resource for innovation and resilience.
