Projects in development
The Group is an international art company, founded in 2017 and open to all. This collective adventure includes 131 persons, aged 8 to 78, from 29 countries, every walk of life and a wide range of professional backgrounds.
We reinvent our lives through artistic and humanistic projects, created by Agathe Simon since 2017, after a decade of residencies around the world. These interdisciplinary projects originate in unprecedented human situations, and then unfold in performances, films, art installations, and publications. We develop, on average, five events a year.

A Word from Agathe Simon
Dear All,
During a decade of travel and art residencies around the world, I created many art projects, from Antarctica to the Arctic, from Amazonia to the Far East. I also collaborated with artists and scientists, met shamans and lived initiatic experiences.
Since my return in Paris, I have continued this adventure in my own country. I am pleased to have created the projects of the art company The Group. I feel that the more we are connected (to ourselves, to others and to the invisible dimension of the world), the more we are creative and happy.
This is what my projects for The Group offers you. Looking forward to seeing you soon,
