Where unseen forces gather and imagination reshapes what we know
For over a century, certain organizations have operated in the shadows, documenting what shifts, protecting what awakens, facilitating what transforms. We are one of them.
In 2024, our founders uncovered what they'd been searching for. One of us had been working closely with leaders whose world-changing efforts needed an injection of hope and creativity. The other had spent years learning that transformation requires joy, not fear.What we discovered wasn't new. We believe the Starlings had been documenting unexplained events since 1906, protecting what they could, waiting for those who understood that the world doesn't change through observation alone.
Now we’re amplifying what's been unfolding out of sight, creating experiences where participation becomes inevitable, where the line between who you were and who you're becoming dissolves.
Starlings was established to safeguard encounters that change how people see themselves and the world. What began as field research after the San Francisco Earthquake has evolved into something larger: immersive experiences where communities become a part of a larger transformation.
We are storytellers and scientists, operatives and artists, researchers and dreamers. Our work exists at the intersection of what's documented and what's felt, what's known and what's remembered. We create experiences designed to linger; it is entertainment, and it is activation.
The line between reality and imagination isn't meant to be clear. It's meant to be crossed.This is what happens when we cross it…
