CAR creates, holds, and publishes projects centred around art, research, and cycling.
CAR uses cycling as a radical tool for exploration and experimentation within art as moving by (bi)cycle enables us to experience the world at different speed, duration, and scale; connecting us to the land and each other.
By presenting these alternative ways of movement that are intentionally slow, vulnerable, situated, and connected, CAR aims to contribute in a small way to better identifying and ultimately rejecting the divisive social and political structures that enclose us.

An international event series presenting a curated selection of artist films that use the (bi)cycle has been an integral part to the process or outcome of the film.
