PICNIC COLLECTIVE is a multidisciplinary collaborative and process-oriented art endeavor. It is comprised of artists Carolina Gonzalez Valencia, Asha Tamirisa and several collaborators. The name PICNIC COLLECTIVE emphasizes the idea of finding each other in any space and utilizing whatever infrastructure may exist for collectivity. The result is emergent; dependent on whatever members bring to share. The name also suggests being nomadic; we roam and find nourishment wherever we find each other. The idea behind PICNIC COLLECTIVE was born while sharing bread and ideas at a picnic table in South Portland, Maine.
Their first project, “How To Move a Tree” will be published in early 2026.
