What is
EU-COM-E?

EU-COM-E builds on the existing Circular Online Museum platform and expands it into a space for participation, learning, and co-creation — a living, evolving environment where practices are tested, documented, and shared.

01 – focus

Artistic processes

Not just finished artworks, but the methods, decisions, and discoveries that shape them.

02 – focus

Community collaboration

Working with people, not just for them. Shared authorship across geographies and identities.

03 – focus

Shared knowledge

Open resources, documented practices, accessible tools — built to circulate freely.
