Workshop: Making (Civil) Space for Art, in between Communities, State and Market

11 Sep 2021
workshopKaaistudio's, Brussels

The search for affordable space with a long-term perspective in the arts always takes place in a sphere of forces between the government, the construction and real estate sector and the initiative of artists and citizens.
Flanders Arts Institute has analysed these complex interactions by investigating 10 cases (Co-Post, Casco, AAIR, Endeavour, Werkplaats Walter, Post Collective, Nucleo, Commons Josaphat, Zeezin, Permanent), and has developed a diagram to make these interactions, in which sustainable and affordable alternatives are developed, readable.
