Dyade A&D was found on the year 2000, both by artists and socials activists, who all needed to have a collective production instrument. This dynamic was immediately put on a self-managed and participatory nature (which means shared responsibility, mutual training, collective reflection). From the beginning, we've put the concrete realities as core of the debates. Thus, project after project, we manage to make our position « Art & Development » as an explicit one : develop artistic professions on a self-managed basis, and create alliances with solidarity & development dynamics.
