The Fearless Collective
Fearless Collective is an art collective. It uses participatory art practices to provide means to move from fear to love in public space. The collective uses visual campaigning, multimedia storytelling and large-scale public art projects to engage in participative storytelling with communities who have been misrepresented around the world; to make space for personal narratives to emerge, transform public space, and reclaim our imaginations from fear.

Formation
Fearless was started in 2012 by Bangalore based visual artist Shilo Shiv Suleman in response to the media fear-mongering and patriarchal discourse on sexual violence and women’s right to access public space in India. Since then, the collective has grown into a global, core team of women artists and activists who use affirmation and art as acts of protest by responding to moments of crisis through creating beauty in public space. To date, Fearless Collective has worked with hundreds of community members in ten countries to co-create 27 large scale public art installations largely in the Global South. Fearless Collective is financially sponsored by U.S. 501(c)(3) Social Good Fund.
