Connect→Collide→Collab

connect→collide→collab is a creative gathering for multimedia makers across disciplines: visual artists, sound artists, performers, coders, designers, writers, curators, and everyone in between.

It’s not a marketplace or a polished showcase.

It’s a space for sharing rough ideas, making friends, swapping skills, and finding collaborators—without the pressure of perfection.

As a platform for change-provoking artists and designers, UAAD has hosted over a dozen showcases—online and IRL in NYC. But we’ve realized that featuring finished work isn’t enough. What we need is space for the messy middle: the questions, the trials, the in-progress.

We’re not meant to create in isolation. We want to *connect*, *collide*, and *collab*— to spark something that none of us could arrive at alone.
