Antwerpen
‘CITY’ Study Circle
Through previous collaborations wpZimmer, Baltic Art Center, Studio ALTA and Lavanderia a Vapore recognised that while working on transnational projects with predefined value systems local situatedness gets neglected, leading towards possible misunderstandings or even conflicts during the implementation. On Mobilisation recognises historical, geographic, cultural, economic, political and other situational factors that influence the way we work and the way we experience the world around us. We find it extremely valuable to embrace the contextuality of each organisation, as well as intersectionality and multiplexity of people with whom we collaborate and/or whom we address. Our goal is to create conditions that enable us to build meaningful relationships and produce new and share existing knowledge(s), while acknowledging, understanding and sensing differences within each context without any judgement or hierarchy.
