least is an association that supports transdisciplinary, co-creative, and ecological artistic initiatives. Convinced that collective approaches help foster the emergence of particularly fruitful and societally useful visions, least provides a time and space that is conducive to experimentation and synergies with other realities, peoples, and know-hows in order to open up a new world of possibilities.

Alongside this, least sets up research and education projects aimed at artists and cultural players, with a view to transforming professions. The type of ecology we promote does not just focus on the environment, but also on alternative ways of living and working. This approach encourages us to look for new ways of collaborating, sharing, and supporting each other, challenging conventional patterns of competition and consumption.

Based in Switzerland, but mindful of our environmental interdependence with southern Europe, least works in partnership to create residencies and projects that are deeply rooted in the areas where they take place.

Are you interested in co-creative artistic practices? Or do you have a project idea to share? Contact us at contact@least.eco

least isn’t on social media for ecological reasons :)

transdisciplinarity

least brings together scientists, artists, thinkers, and civil society to share their knowledge and know-how. least pools ideas, knowledge, skills and tools to anchor new positive strategies in the long term.

long-term projects

least disseminates an ecology of production that redefines the artist’s research- and territory-based profession in order to foster participation, assimilation and identification with the projects: a process that requires time and fluidity, different from usual production models.

co-creation

least encourages a form of art without an audience, preferring the notion of a “participating community.” Grassroots organisations, young people, local actors and citizens take part in creative processes that focus on environmental and social issues.

learning

least enables the creation of a common and circular model of knowledge, stimulating peer-to-peer exchanges and transgenerational artistic mentoring through practice by offering residency grants to young local artists.
