Through its collaborative research platforms, ICA nurture deep reflections about our individual, interpersonal, cultural, sexual, gender, and ecological identities; how they shape our worldviews, and asks the question- ‘How do we truly collaborate for the Earth?’, leading to a collective exploration of the relational nature of our identities, both within and without.
Rigorous processes at ICA collaborative research platforms allow novel insights in to our relationship with the Earth to come to the forefront, and develop innovative practices to apply these insights to transform collective consciousness.
