"There comes a time where we have to take out the knives. That's a fact. Strictly technical. (...) The knife is the only way to define yourself as oppressed. The only audible communication. Don’t matter the character, the personality, the motives of the oppressed. This is the first step out of the circle. It's necessary.”
(Christiane Rochefort: Definition of the oppressed) ​​

Art is our knife. Our tool for confrontation, protest and opposition. Our voice to cry out, our eyes to challenge, our weapon to demonstrate, our body to fight. Created as a collective in 2014 in Berlin, and founded as a company in 2018 in Paris, ​Gray Box aims to experiment with the interactions and common territories of performance, visual arts, and community activism.
​​Based on interdisciplinary research based-collaborations and non-hierarchical collective creative process, Gray Box creates and curates site-specific projects, focus on ecology, socio-cultural changes and subcultures, question hegemonic class, gender, normative behaviors, and dominant ideologies. Performances, exhibitions, fashion collections, curatorial practices and educational projects echo the broader socio-political context, and challenge the body as a political-affective geography, a historically shaped and colonized archive, where power is constantly contested and negotiated. 
​In the past years Gray Box has performed across Europe, in major cities and small towns alike, in formal and informal, indoor and outdoor spaces. It has been in-residence with many theaters and at universities as well.
