What if the real work of a cultural institution is to be the glue? At Julie's Bicycle, Pando looks at institutions less as buildings or programmes than as connective tissue — the quiet infrastructure that binds together subcultures, grassroots associations, and individual people who would otherwise stay scattered. Her contribution asks what institutions actually do when they hold a scene together: how they can support networks of cooperation without absorbing or flattening them, and what it means to measure their value by the relationships they sustain rather than the output they produce.
