About

Between Currents is rooted in a desire to collaborate, share and be in community. This site serves as a digital scaffold, creating pathways for shared learning, creative growth, and sustained cultural dialogue, empowering creatives to navigate and engage with culture beyond geographic, linguistic and political boundaries.

We intentionally use the term scaffold to define the digital aspect of the project– a structure that allows people to stand on a stable platform for work at height or in hard-to-reach places–as it serves as a support structure, ever adapting, to continue to support future development.
‍
Through this project, we recognize the invisible labors of culture, imagination and creation.

History

Between Currents was dreamt from a desire to build a new model, not attached to output but rather one that embraces questions, progress, mediation and all the in between stages that lead to finality.

Design Note

Between Currents' visual identity draws inspiration from the myriad stories carried by the tides of the Caribbean region, passed down from generation to generation by its people and diasporas. It captures both the clarity and the beauty with which exchange and communication occur incessantly between its inhabitants, shores, islands, landscapes, and languages. The Between Currents brand reflects the colorful cultural heritage of the Caribbean and Caribbean diaspora with a bright and wide-ranging palette, and its typography and marks invite dialogue and evoke the diversity of voices and registers inherent to the region.
