FAQ

  • What kinds of clients does OPOV work with?

    We work with institutions, NGOs, governments and private companies. What they have in common is a commitment to doing something better, whether that’s improving systems, launching a meaningful initiative, or shifting how people engage with an issue or idea.

  • What does 'Initiative Building' actually accomplish?

    It helps turn ideas into reality. When you're close to a project, it can be hard to see where it's unclear, misaligned, or likely to stall. We help identify those points early and bring the structure needed to move things forward.

    This can mean setting up a plan, proposal, framework, or shaping the language and alignment needed to get support and traction.

  • Why does cultural strategy matter in this kind of work?

    Because enduring support is more than a one-off sale. Real adoption happens when people understand, connect with and feel moved by an idea— it becomes a part of their lives.

    And a good idea supports and boosts the culture it affects. Its a mutually beneficial relationship.

  • Why make exhibitions, lectures and publications?

    Because change requires a shift in perspective, and that doesn’t happen easily. It happens when people are engaged, moved and open. The world is saturated with “information,” but change happens when people are invited into a different way of seeing and feeling.

    When something is crafted with care, beauty and meaning, people receive it differently. And if your idea is meant to last, it needs that kind of reception.

  • Why do you focus on changemakers?

    OPOV works with people who are trying to offer something better, whether that’s a smarter policy, a more sustainable approach, or a better product. We’re not here to make the same old ideas money. We’re here to help transformative efforts break through.

  • What is Cultural Urbanism?

    Culture isn’t just art or heritage. It’s people living in a place, doing what they do every day—getting together, making decisions, shaping life. It’s embedded in routines, relationships and the shared logic of how things work.. When culture breaks down, the systems around it do too.

    As people adapt to global homogenization, digital overexposure and placeless development, cultural urbanism is a tool for sharpening the connection between innovation and the people it’s built for.
