BAILIÚ

ART FOR COMMUNITY

We create and curate art for our communities.

We are a community who shares inspiration and creates art. We’re focused on actions we can take to care for ourselves and our communities.

Bailiú is Irish. It means to flock together, gather, or collect. This community name is inspired by the way birds like starlings move together in unison. It was inspired by the book Emergent Strategy, by adrienne maree brown who shares this insight from nature (p.46):

The synchronized movement patterns of a starling flock is also called a murmuration. Guided by simple rules, starling murmurations can react to their environment as a group without a central leader orchestrating their choices; in any instant, any part of the flock can transform the movement of the whole flock. Collective leadership/partnership. Adaptability.
