About Interwoven

INTERWOVEN is an international cultural exchange and creative platform that connects art, science, space, technology, and education around the questions shaping our shared future.

We curate, produce, and execute programs, collaborations, and exhibitions that bring together artists, scientists, astronauts, technologists, educators, students, and communities.

At the heart of INTERWOVEN is a belief that the most interesting ideas emerge when different ways of thinking come together. Participation is how we work.

Young people and communities explore big questions, develop ideas, and create alongside leading thinkers. We build opportunities for those ideas to move beyond the classroom and into the wider world - becoming exhibitions, performances, educational programs, international collaborations, and new creative work.

We are building the conditions for ideas to travel, connections to grow, and more people to have a voice in shaping the future we share.

These photographs were taken by astronaut and textile artist Karen Nyberg from the International Space Station. Karen's photographs offer a perspective of Earth that few people ever experience - connecting scientific observation with a deeply personal view of the planet we call home.

Program Components

INTERWOVEN is an umbrella framework that brings together creative expression, science, technology, and educational engagement. Each program is developed with partners around a specific question, place, audience, or shared challenge.

Visual Arts

Visual installations, artwork, and exhibitions that transform complex scientific and environmental questions into tangible visual experiences.

Music & Immersive Arts

Soundscapes, live musical collaborations, and interactive digital environments that merge art, science, technology, and atmosphere.

Text-Based Art

Poetry, literary works, and spoken-word storytelling that give voice to planetary conservation, human connection, and cultural exchange.

New Technologies

Collaborations exploring technology-driven art forms, creative coding, digital tools, and emerging technologies that bridge human creativity with scientific innovation.

Performing Arts

Dance, music, theater, puppetry, and other artistic expressions brought to life on stage to communicate environmental, scientific, and cultural narratives.

Masterclasses, Webinars, Workshops

Hands-on learning sessions, workshops, and mentorship led by global experts that give young people and creators the knowledge, skills, and confidence to explore ideas and lead change.

Core Objectives

INTERWOVEN programs and outcomes are designed to create meaningful collaborations across the arts, sciences, technology, and STEM education around the themes of sustainability, global collaboration, and replicable impact.

Sustainability

Educate youth and communities globally on the strategies, technologies, and methodologies needed to safeguard our planet. We explore how discoveries from the deep ocean to deep space directly impact Earth's security and ecological well-being.

Fireworks representing Holistic Values

Replicable Model

Design programs that can be adapted and rebuilt by partners in other countries and contexts. Each INTERWOVEN initiative is structured so that its framework — curriculum, participation model, and exhibition pathway — can be carried forward by institutions worldwide rather than remaining a single event.

Dancers representing Global Collaboration

Global Collaboration

Develop exemplary programs alongside leading international partners across the arts, science, technology, and STEM education. These initiatives actively engage students and communities in work that advances global environmental sustainability.
