mestizo arts platform ?
MAP’s mission and vision.
MESTIZO ARTS PLATFORM (MAP) mixes and matches artists and arts organizations through the unique collaboration WIPCOOP or Work In PROGRESS Cooperative.
We nurture the imagination of artists who draw from more than one world, and help them shape their own universe and share their journey to it. Our cities are a vibrant source of artistic talent from various backgrounds, and MAP provides a platform for all these stories, dreams and memories. We bring new voices and stories in all their multidisciplinary and hybrid forms to the broad field of performing arts, contributing to a rich and vibrant arts scene in Belgium and beyond.
MAP develops efficient and sustainable artistic networks. We believe in the narrative power of cities. That’s why we work to connect artists, arts organizations and practices from very diverse backgrounds and styles. We believe that these encounters are enriching and necessary to harness the artistic potential of cities. In everything MAP does, collaboration and community are fundamental. These principles help create a diverse and representative art field.
