Launching: Rhythm Dialogues How do you give form to something that resists fixed definition? Almost seven years ago, we began searching for something—a creative space that could hold aliveness. Not productivity, not output, but that quality of attention where everything becomes more vivid, more present, more open to questioning and deeper thought. We wanted a ground for experimentation. For the kind of dialogue that shapes and reshapes us as we move through it. A place where artists and thinkers could remain unfinished. Where the sensibility we carry might find room to converse, to explore, to dance with words, ideas, forms, music. That space became Rhythm Dialogues. The project includes a mobile artist residency housed in a 1974 redesigned Airstream; annual Convergences that bring together celebrated artists, designers, and thinkers; and a publishing arm, 11:11 RD Editions. Rhythm Dialogues lives at the intersection of disciplines: dance, music, film, writing, visual art, philosophy, and performance. But more than that, it works at the convergence of being and making. We believe these are not separate, that how we attend to the world shapes what we create. That slowing down is not a retreat from urgency but a deeper engagement with it.

Now Hiring: Project Manager/ Producer Over the past few years, we have been working relentlessly on an independently spirited project— Rhythm Dialogues— a new platform for creative exchange, operating at the intersection of Canada’s communities, land and artistic experimentation. Central to the project is a beautifully redesigned 1974 Airstream, a mobile artist residency travelling across Canada and facilitating convergences between artists of all disciplines —visual, performance, writing, dance, music, film, theatre, and interdisciplinary or hybrid forms—and the ecological and cultural contours of place. Prioritizing exploration over outcome, the residency does not require a specific work or output—instead, the initiative creates space for experimentation and a cross-country chain of artistic resonance.. We are looking for our first Project Manager/ Producer to help shape this initiative in its inaugural year. This is a role for someone comfortable with ambiguity, who values process over outcome, and who has the operational experience to turn a visionary concept into a cross-country reality.

Focus: Managing the logistics of a mobile lab, artist relations, community relations and project operations. Deadline: February 23, 2026.

Launching: No Ordinary Accessories No Ordinary Accessories (Noa) is a bespoke manufacturing house creating lighting and objects for the hospitality industry. We partnered with Noa at their inception – working alongside them to develop their naming, visual identity system, custom typography, digital experiences, and even a soon-to-be-released physical lamp. The identity is rooted in bold geometric forms – stripped down to their essentials – yet creating enough movement and flexibility to expand effortlessly into a rich, dynamic, textural system. Big thank you to Luca Pallattella and Matthew Sananes See the full project here: https://lnkd.in/gi5VqhPX

Launching: White Ribbon White Ribbon—the largest movement of men, boys, and allies working together to build a world free from gender-based violence and discrimination—partnered with us to redesign and reimagine their identity.

The new logo balances humanity and connectivity, remaining recognizable while staying rooted in the brand’s established equity. See our full project here: https://lnkd.in/gD6wgUr3
