COSMOS is a constellation of scholars, practitioners, and students reimagining approaches to materiality and objects across the world. We demystify collections and archives of all kinds. Through object-based research, we aim to rethink the past and transform our visions for the future.
This innovative approach entails creative experimentation, historical inquiry, and scientific exploration through hands-on work with the materials that shape our global cultural heritage. Founded on a commitment to ethical research and equitable partnerships among institutions and communities, we foster dynamic collaborations and networks of practice across the humanities, arts, sciences, and social sciences.
