The Hamdel Futurist Collaborative is a living space for shared imagination. It brings together artists, activists, archivists, and organizers working across borders, movements, and identities. Co-founded by Neda Moridpour and Rashin Fahandej, Hamdel comes from the Persian “همدل,” meaning “of one heart.” The collective reclaims kinship as a radical practice. It builds connections that resist erasure, division, and segregation. Hamdel approaches archiving as an act of radical collective care. It treats “creative disobedience” as a language of resistance and future-making—a way of remembering together and embodying otherwise.

Rooted in feminist and Indigenous principles, and guided by a spiritual ethic of “constructive resilience,” Hamdel cultivates networks of reciprocity, responsibility, and repair. Here, creative care is not sentiment but structure: a living method of healing, survival, and collective becoming.
