KADIST

l’art en plus has been advising KADIST since 2020.

Convinced that art is an engine for social transformation, KADIST has been supporting committed, decentralized contemporary creation for over 20 years, affirming that some of the most important artistic voices are to be found beyond its own American and European localities. With over 2,000 works, the KADIST collection is the starting point and resource for its programs, the result of collaborations with artists, curators and art institutions on all five continents. In its two permanent locations in Paris and San Francisco, as well as online, KADIST develops exhibitions, residencies, events and educational programs, fostering access to rich conversations about art and society.

Since 2023, KADIST has been evolving to make its collection more visible in its own spaces with a new cycle of collaborations with international museums. The aim of this collaboration program is to make a large part of the collection available to a leading museum, for exhibitions and educational programs addressing key issues of our time. This initiative is inaugurated with the Centre Pompidou.

Alongside the development of KADIST’s programs, the Paris building is now home to the AFIELD project, launched by Sandra Terdjman (co-founder and Vice President of KADIST) in 2014. A network of artist-led social initiatives, AFIELD was created from a grant and a program of meetings and workshops, and brings together artists from all disciplines who carry out concrete, long-term social action in a community. These initiatives take the form of schools and educational programs, places of refuge in conflict zones, social enterprises and festivals.

l’art en plus has been advising KADIST’s corporate communications and media relations since 2020. After having orchestrated the celebration of the philanthropic organization’s 20th anniversary, the agency oversees the media coverage of new collaborative programs with international museums developed since 2023.
