CULTURAL ECONOMIES
CR8VX artist solidarity economy facilitates independent creative production and cultural exchange through networks of mutual care and support. An exchange of social value through shared creative endeavours.
SPECULATIVE GENEROSITY
"You can’t create and hold it to yourself, it only has value when you share." Erik BordeleauThe value of our labour is held in our creative process and flows through our shared collective knowledge.
CREATIVE EXCHANGE
CR8VX facilitates the ongoing flow of cultural capital between creators, producers and supporters via informal exchange of resources, skills and value with transparency, equality and inclusivity.
It’s not a local currency, it’s a translocal currency.
We need to reimagine our creative values in tangible forms.
CR8VX Creative Exchange is an example of an alternative model to facilitate mutual support in our hybrid creative economies. Part time-bank, part barter and skills exchange, part idealistic post-capitalist utopian currency. Unconditional Basic Income!

CR8VX creative exchange is a social facilitation mechanism as much as a value transfer. A hybrid model that is platform agnostic ie. doesn’t need to be currency, crypto or blockchain based. We’d like to explore artist designed currency ideas and formats with you. Please get in touch to collaborate on finding ways to create these ideas in practice!

Our aim is to increase opportunities, build resilience and self-organise to redistribute resources for common good.
We offer tools for a resource sharing system where you can exchange skills and labour in a community of trust.
We support the exchange of intangible capital, through P2P peer-to-peer collectively assigned framework of value that recognises the social and cultural capital generated by artists within different economies and contexts.
Our mission is to redistribute resources to those who need them most! Collectively organising to create a fair and equal system of exchange for creative intangible values, informal cultural economies and artist solidarity networks.
