Off-Site is a "practice-based research initiative that engages with questions on heritage, ruination, and care through alternative forms of curation, archivation, and image-making, informed by the dispersed and networked notion of diaspora. We acquire, create, and distribute audio, material, and visual artifacts which, entrusted in the care of artists and collaborators, partake in the formation of a collective archive."

Ecologies of Prehod "is one of many Off-site initiatives to engage with sites of ruination in Bulgaria through sculpture, installation, sound, and moving-image work." [...] "At Swimming Pool, Sofia, five artists adopt a thinking-with-matter approach to conceive of a critical framework for working with unofficial heritage sites and archives through the notion of Prehod."
"Nicolás Kisic Aguirre builds an experimental broadcast that reflects on diasporic experience by sharing thoughts and hopes with material derived from personal stories rendered in artistic and acoustic explorations."
For this exhibit, Radio Parazit materializes in a sound system comprising six listening modules, each playing a singular stream from Radio Parazit. This experimental broadcast reflects on diasporic experience by sharing experiences, thoughts, and hopes, with material derived from personal stories rendered in artistic and acoustic explorations. Visitors are invited to participate in moving the modules throughout the gallery space.
