A European cultural-art practice built through routes and stations

Gaaboard Collage is a research-based cultural framework structured as journeys, nodes, and material outcomes — connecting places, artefacts, and participants across Europe.

Not a marketplace. Not a membership club. A route-built collaboration layer.

Connect is the collaboration layer

The route becomes tangible when others enter it. Connect structures participation through institutions, local craft, travel and research-based collaboration.

Institutions

Museums, archives, libraries and research partners shaping stations.

Travellers & communities

Follow routes, enter stations, and appear on the Connect map.

Open Map

Stations • Logs • Artefacts

Some parts of a route are not travelled — they are made. Gaaboard Connect turns that idea into a simple structure: stations you can enter, logs you can follow, and outcomes you can hold.

Limited editions and local craft collaborations

We create limited editions — and we also collaborate with local makers. Some pieces are ours, some are shared, and some are shaped by place: designed as Gaaboard work, realised with local craft and specialities.

Who connects here

  • Museums, archives, libraries, and cultural institutions
  • Educators, researchers, and students
  • Artists, designers, and independent studios
  • Makers, craftspeople, and local businesses
  • Hosts and local accommodation providers
  • Travellers, local communities, and place-based explorers

Flagship route: The Pytheas Project

Pytheas is the long route that holds the system together — research-led, station by station, with logs, map entries, and tangible artefacts.

Products and Shop

Products are curated presentation pages — the antechamber where outcomes are framed and contextualised. Shop is the checkout layer (Ecwid) for ordering, without shifting the practice into a product-first logic.
