Previous Events
08 Community Through the Act of Making
16 November 2024
Centering on the theme of building community through creation, we highlighted how the act of creating fosters social connections and collaboration. Interactions involved tactile activities like collaborative clay sculpture building and olfactory experiences through personalized scent crafting at the Kive Scent Station, emphasizing that inspiration arises from conversations and collective engagement. The event was enhanced with ambient sounds by Zach Sulak and visuals by Nvstalgicc, featuring pop-ups from Sustain All and Etelier Gallery, all contributing to a rich, multisensory communal atmosphere.
07 Rebirth: A Self-Exploration Lab
30 August 2024
Celebrating the theme of renewal with four immersive rooms, we showcased paintings of Savvy D, sculptures and digital prints of Tiffany Wei, and short films by Devin DeSouza. Additionally, our interactive spaces featuring Kive’s question cards and pictorial autobiography rooms encouraged self-awareness and communal discovery, fostering deep personal connections and creative expression.
06 Wear To Play
06 April 2024
A Futsal Tournament challenging modern consumerism by inviting creatives to engage in a day of active play, where each team plays in their favorite outfit. The concept celebrates how clothing is meant to be worn, torn, and loved rather than passively consumed. Blending the worlds of fashion and sport, this unique gathering playfully fostered connection and celebrated the synergy between creativity and conscious consumption.
05 Biophilic Series: Urban Eden
02 February 2024
The second event of our Biophilic Series blended the natural and urban through curated DJ sets and activities like the "Give a Flower to a Stranger" initiative, fostering connections amidst contemporary chaos. Alongside a film screening by Elliott Sellers, art displays by Aiyi Cheng, and photography prints by Diane Lac (image above), the event featured pop-ups by LA-based designers Empath, Astound, Sterling Place, and more, all in collaboration with 88Trade Flea Market. This gathering emphasized the beauty and community potential within urban environments, encouraging a deeper appreciation of our role in sustaining the natural world.
04 Biophilic Series: Listening Experience
02 December 2023
Through a multi-sensory listening experience featuring an experimental DJ set, ambient sound bath, and mixology, we aimed to highlight the discordant ways humans engage with the environment. Our drinks such as "Stop Burning Our Forests" and "Metallic Mirage" reflect these complexities, tapping into the less harmonious aspects of our relationship with nature. This event fosters community and emphasises the importance of creating conversations around our relationship with nature in today's world.
03 Playground
22 October 2023
Turning our space into a place where creatives could tap into their youthful spirit and embrace playfulness, this event featured an expanded conversation lounge, interactive art stations, and a lineup of LA vendors and designers. The energy of childhood play was reinforced into an adult space designed for artistic expression and connection. From tooth gems to a live synthesizer & cello set by Omeed and Chloe, Playground is a call to embracing youth.
02 Geokive
09 September 2023
The Geokive event centered around nature and renewal, using the "Geo" conversation lounge and a space filled with unsellable plants for reflective discussions on second chances. It featured a 3D visual critique by Kenzo Han, a market with LA-based designers, a photography booth, and a clothing donation area, all emphasizing sustainability and conscious consumption.
01 Birthday
17 June 2023
Birthday is the genesis of our Kive community, where the focus was on authentic connection and face-to-face interaction. With house music, chess, and games, this event laid the groundwork for Kive's mission to create spaces where creativity and human connection thrive together.
