Manifesto



NSISIM... (nuh-sih-sim) means ‘spirit’ in Bulu: a language spoken in the Southeastern region of Cameroon. 

this space is for:

  • 🌀 the curious who wants to bridge the gap between their values and embodying them


  • 🐚 the researcher interested in land, nature, memory, patterns, images, time, poetry, liberation


  • 🫀 the empathetic critic who observes, questions, re-envisions, and puts back together


  • 💌 the compassionate collaborator who respects, adds to, and co-imagines solutions & visions


  • 👽 the visionary worldbuilder who dreams, plans, visualizes, organizes, and.or strategizes


  • 🌿 the creative &/or thinker who makes, draws, weaves, tells, dances, plays, plans, studies, works, moves, connects, sings, paints, writes, builds, imagines who values her/their/his community/ies.

NSISIM Studio wants to personally thank the planet for all that it is, Sasha Kelley for the consultation of distribution strategies of course offerings– endlessly grateful for your piscean dreamer and capricorn rootedness and Iris E. Fernández Valdés who is our creative practice and emotional excavation life coach who has been accompanying us through parks, emotional underworld, creative laboratory, and inner child to unearth dormant corporal and poetic connections presented as NSISIM.\

Research Methods for Artists



Have a project, offering, artwork in mind but don’t know where to get started?

Do you need a way to organize your thoughts, research and documentation?

Are you desiring a way to alchemize research into an offering, artwork, organizing effort?

Are you looking for online and in-person resources support in the planning stages of your ideas?


In this course, we’ll:


  1. pool from an extensive list of research tools & weave them into our artistic practice (or idea of choice)
  2.  learn from artist collectives’ research methods & ways of organizing information, dreams, & visions 
  3. develop our own methodologies suited to our practice, ways of being, thinking, seeing, and relating  
  4. dive into best practices for research, archiving, cataloguing, sources for digital and in-person research
