# About

Varia is a Rotterdam based initiative, which started in 2017 from the need to open up their members' practices and organise ad-hoc public or semi-public moments among different configurations; at its core it aims at developing critical understandings of the technologies that surround us. Varia experiments with tools for building [**physical and digital infrastructures in a collective way**](/en/pages/collective-infrastructures.html).

Our ways of being together as a collective-space are mediated through the following documents: our [**Code of Conduct**](/en/pages/code-of-conduct.html) which describes shared values and expected behaviour, a [**collective statement**](/en/pages/collective-statement.html) which contextualizes our situation, and [**membership guidelines**](/en/pages/membership-guidelines.html) where you can read about our membership model.
