CAMARAC
CAMARAC is a non-profit international collective of young artists and architects. The collective identifies and works on social injustices within the framework of big urban systems. We consider art to be an essential tool for protest and we work to make cities evolve for the benefit of the community, and not at the community’s expense. Our work is based on the pursuit of sustainable progress, based on citizen participation, and attentive and respectful of people’s needs.
